THE CHIROPRACTIC POTENTIAL TO CHANGE LIVES — NOT JUST SPINES

You found your way to Moriarty Chiropractic for your back pain — but research now indicates that your chiropractic care may also be restoring something even more prized: your sleep, your energy, and your quality of life. Compelling new research on active-duty U.S. military personnel with low back pain suggests that is exactly what is happening. In two studies, Shannon and colleagues looked at not just whether chiropractic care helped — but how and why it helped. The first, published in BMJ Open, reported that chiropractic care improved a broad range of whole-person outcomes — including sleep quality, fatigue, and physical functioning — and that these improvements were clearly linked to decreases in how much back pain was affecting daily life. (1) The second, published in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies, tracked patients for a full year and confirmed that these wide-reaching benefits were authentic, lasting, and still measurable at both three months and one year later. (2) The soldiers and service members in these studies faced intense physical demands and chronic stress — but their struggles with back pain, poor sleep, fatigue, and limited mobility are ones that many of us know intimately in our own everyday lives. If you have been deliberating whether chiropractic care is worth a try, or whether it can help with more than just the pain itself, the answer coming out from this research is a resounding yes — your back, your sleep, your energy, and your quality of life may all have something to gain….and your chiropractor here at Moriarty Chiropractic is ready to help!

Nashua CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: A Simple Habit That Could Help You Sleep Better Tonight

While chiropractic care is reported to be able to improve your sleep, there are things you can do between visits to reinforce even better rest. One comes from a recent study in Frontiers in Public Health  that found how mind-body exercises — yoga, tai chi, or qigong — significantly boosted sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults by decreasing anxiety and improving emotional regulation. (3) Gentle mindful movement calms the mental noise that keeps us staring at the ceiling. Try adding just 15 to 20 minutes of slow, mindful movement to your evening routine and let it work alongside your chiropractic care here at Moriarty Chiropractic. Please chat with us at your next appointment about how this may benefit you. Sleep well!
