Sleep Your Way to Spinal Health!

Sleeping used to be simple. You climbed into bed, pulled up the covers and closed your eyes. Today, it takes a consulting firm to figure out all the choices—conventional mattress or air, posturpedic or tempurpedic, ergonomic pillow or Scandinavian goose down?

And what about sleeping positions?

It turns out they have names, and they can even reveal aspects of your personality. A whopping 41 percent of us sleep curled on our sides holding a pillow, the “fetal” position, indicating a shy and sensitive personality. Those who sleep straight on their backs, in the “soldier” position, tend to be quiet and reserved. Many people sleep on their side—the so-called “log” position. This popular position shows a small degree of insecurity and stress.
The least healthy position, the face down “freefall” position, is used by 6.5 percent of people who tend to have "a brash and gregarious exterior," although this confident front hides a nervous personality who responds badly to personal criticism.

Unassuming, good listeners and outgoing folk usually adopt the “starfish “position—on the back with outstretched arms and legs.

And, as for pillows, blankets and mattresses, for a truly unbiased opinion, ask us for recommendations for the best sleeping equipment.

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in Danville and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
