In today's go-go-go culture, sleep and rest are often sacrificed in the name of productivity. But if you're dealing with pain, inflammation, or simply trying to recover and feel better, the most powerful thing you can do might be the simplest—get better sleep and prioritize deep rest.

Your Body Heals When You Sleep

Sleep isn’t just downtime. It’s when your body performs critical healing and restoration:

• Tissue repair

• Muscle recovery

• Reduction in inflammation

• Hormonal balancing

• Immune system strengthening

When you’re asleep, your body is hard at work rebuilding and repairing cells, flushing out toxins, and regulating key systems that impact how you feel—especially if you’re injured or in pain.

Poor Sleep = Increased Inflammation and Pain

When your body doesn’t get enough quality sleep, it increases the production of inflammatory markers like cytokines and C-reactive protein. This systemic inflammation can:

• Exacerbate chronic pain

• Delay recovery from injury

• Heighten sensitivity to pain signals

• Reduce mental and physical resilience

People who are sleep-deprived also tend to have lower pain tolerance and slower healing rates. Rest isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Chiropractic Care Supports Better Sleep

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we often see that patients who get adjusted regularly report better sleep quality. That’s because:

• Adjustments restore balance to the nervous system

• They reduce physical stress and muscle tension

• They optimize communication between the brain and body

• They promote parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) nervous system activity

Proper spinal alignment can reduce discomfort that interferes with sleep and help your body relax more easily into restorative rest.

Tips to Improve Sleep and Recovery

If you’re struggling to sleep or wake up feeling tired and inflamed, here are a few actionable tips:

• Establish a consistent sleep routine (same bedtime/wake time)

• Avoid blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs an hour before bed

• Create a cool, dark, quiet sleep environment

• Limit caffeine intake after early afternoon

• Use red light therapy or infrared sauna in the evening to relax muscles

• Practice deep breathing and mindfulness techniques before sleep

• Stretch lightly or foam roll to ease tension

• Hydrate with electrolytes, especially if you sauna or exercise

• Take supportive supplements (ask us about magnesium!)

And remember—listen to your body. If you feel run down, fatigued, sore, or mentally foggy, that’s a sign to slow down and prioritize sleep and recovery.
