Why Sleep and Rest Are Essential for Healing, Recovery, and Pain Relief

Published June 12th, 2025 by Camarata Chiropractic

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
