Most healing from injury happens when we sleep, but what if the pain keeps us from sleeping?
Research has shown that the less “quality sleep” a person gets, the greater the intensity of their pain. However, pain from the injury can prevent you from getting “quality sleep.”
It’s the “chicken or the egg” dilemma. Is it a sleep disorder leading to increased pain or is it pain leading to decreased sleep? Do you address the pain, do you address the sleep issues, or both?
A proper diagnosis from a qualified healthcare professional (like a good chiropractor) is vital to remedying this dilemma.
First, an old mattress with sag under your weight signals a problem. You need a new bed when the sag reduces support.
Sleep studies have been a vital component to correctly diagnosing and treating sleep disorders for many.
For pain sufferers, an exam by a qualified professional to diagnose what is specifically causing your pain is the best first step. Resolving your pain and getting back the life you deserve is our goal at Midiowachiro.
An important note: If you are being woken up in the night with pain that is not musculoskeletal pain, it could be a sign of a serious pathology. It is highly recommended that you see your physician for a thorough exam and lab work.
