Why Sleep Trouble Is More Than “Just Being Fussy”
Sleep is critical for growth, brain development, hormonal balance, and immune health. When a child struggles to fall asleep, wakes frequently, or can’t settle down, the root cause can be physical stress, spinal tension, or nervous system disruption.
Common Sleep-Related Signs
- Frequent waking or short sleep stretches
- Difficulty falling asleep without rocking, feeding, or specific positioning
- Tossing, turning, arching, or discomfort
- Daytime irritability, fatigue, or tantrums
- Trouble self-settling or needing constant soothing
How Chiropractic Care May Improve Sleep
Misalignments or tension in the neck and spine can interfere with nervous system signaling, which may make it harder for a child’s body to “switch off” and relax. Gentle adjustments, combined with strategies to calm the nervous system (like sleep hygiene, soft touch, and reassurance), can help a child settle more easily into rest.
Many parents report longer sleep stretches, fewer disruptions, and calmer nights after gentle pediatric chiropractic care.
