Chiropractor treatment for poor sleep and inability to sleep

Chiropractic care helps with sleep problems

Tired of sleepless nights? At Solar Chiropractic, we help you sleep deeper and wake up with more energy:

Why sleep matters more than you think

A quality night of sleep is essential for your health. At night your body heals, repairs, and recharges for the day ahead. If you are having trouble falling asleep, experience a light or restless sleep, or wake up through the night, it affects far more than just your mornings. Poor sleep can lead to:

  • Low energy and brain fog, affecting your performance during the day
  • Irritability and more conflicts with others
  • Feeling disconnected from friends and family
  • A weaker immune system and increased susceptibility to illness

The real reason behind sleep struggles

Most people try to fix their sleep by changing their habits. They cut back on caffeine, tweak their evening routine, or put away their screens earlier. And when that doesn’t work, they often reach for quick fixes like melatonin, eye masks, earplugs, or weighted blankets. While these might offer temporary relief, they don’t address the root of the problem.

The real cause of sleep issues is often the body’s difficulty fully relaxing and switching into the parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your nervous system that allows you to rest, digest, and recover. When stress builds up, it keeps the body stuck in “fight-or-flight” mode. That stress can be:

  • Emotional (worry, anxiety, or mental load)
  • Physical (poor posture, tension, or imbalances)
  • Chemical (from what you eat, drink, or even use on your skin)


When your body is stuck in this stress state, it can’t shift into true rest mode. That’s why you might find yourself lying awake for hours or unable to fall back asleep once you’ve woken up. What’s often labelled a sleep disorder is really your nervous system struggling to switch gears the way it’s designed to.

Symptoms of sleep deprivation and poor sleep

When you struggle with poor sleep, you may notice symptoms such as:

  • Unable to sleep
  • Fragmented sleep
  • Unable to stay asleep or not sleeping through the night
  • A racing or restless mind
  • Waking up not rested
  • Too little sleep
  • Difficulty staying asleep
  • Frequent bathroom trips at night
  • Unable to fall back asleep
  • Waking up multiple times per night
  • Light or shallow sleep


Over time, this leads to sleep deprivation. Symptoms of sleep deprivation can include:

  • Low energy and fatigue
  • Irritability or a short temper
  • Mood swings
  • Difficulty focusing or concentrating
  • Feeling restless or on edge
  • Anxiety or tension about going to bed

Treating sleep disorders and other sleep problems

As chiropractors, we often help people with sleep disorders and other sleep-related issues. Many clients tell us they fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night, and rise with more energy after starting chiropractic care, even if they originally came in for a completely different reason. For many, this improvement starts after their very first visit. Rather than chasing sleep with quick fixes, chiropractic care helps the body naturally settle into deeper, more restorative rest.

Chiropractic care for insomnia

Struggling with insomnia or restless nights often means your body is stuck in a constant state of stress. Chiropractic care for insomnia doesn’t “treat” insomnia directly. Instead, adjustments help bring your mind and body back into a state of ease. When tension eases and communication between your brain and body flows more freely, it becomes easier to shift into the parasympathetic “rest and digest” mode that supports lasting, restorative sleep.

The results you can expect

With chiropractic adjustments, your nervous system can function more efficiently, making it easier to activate the state of rest and recovery your body needs. Almost all of our clients notice an improvement in the quality of their sleep, from falling asleep more easily to waking with more energy. Others may find their sleep itself changes less, but experience fewer health complaints overall. In both cases, chiropractic care for sleep problems often leaves people feeling more energised, balanced, and comfortable in their own body.

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes, almost all of our clients report sleeping better after visiting Solar Chiropractic. Chiropractic adjustments restore balance to your spine and nervous system, improving the communication between your brain and body. This makes it easier to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the state of rest and recovery). For most people, this means falling asleep more easily, staying asleep through the night, and enjoying deeper rest. Some don’t notice big changes in their sleep, but do experience improvements in other areas of their health. As a result, they feel more energised, resilient, and at ease in their body.

  • You can visit a chiropractor for a wide range of sleep issues such as difficulty falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, light or restless sleep, insomnia, disrupted circadian rhythm, sleep deprivation or hypersomnia (excessive sleepiness).

  • It varies from person to person. Many people tell us they sleep better the very same night after their first adjustment. For others, it may take longer. If your body has been out of balance for a while, it often needs time to recover. During your first visit, we’ll give you personalised advice based on your body and your goals, and explain what you can expect from the process.

  • No, chiropractic adjustments are not painful. You may feel some temporary discomfort if your body is already sensitive, especially lying in certain positions, but the adjustment itself doesn’t hurt.

  • No, you don’t need a referral. You can book an appointment directly at Solar Chiropractic without a referral.

  • Most insurers reimburse chiropractic care under complementary or alternative care in the extras insurance package (aanvullende verzekering). Check your policy to see what your coverage includes, or click here to view the coverage of your insurance company.

  • You can find the current fees for chiropractic care on our fees page. There, you can also check what your health insurer reimburses.

  • During your first appointment, we take the time to understand your health concerns and create a personalised care plan. This initial visit usually lasts around 30-45 minutes. Once we know what your body needs, the follow-up visits are shorter and more focused. You’ll first have a moment to relax on the table before the chiropractor begins the adjustments. These adjustments give your body exactly what it needs to support the self-healing process. So even though each session only lasts at most about 10 minutes, the healing process continues long after you leave the practice.

  • Yes, chiropractic care is very safe when performed by a qualified chiropractor. At Solar, every adjustment is delivered with precision, presence, and respect for your body’s natural rhythms. We don’t force or manipulate, we work with your body to help it find balance again. Research shows that chiropractic care is among the safest forms of healthcare available, and is far safer than common medications like ibuprofen. Our approach is gentle, specific, and focused on restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system. Most people experience chiropractic as deeply relaxing and even restorative, a way to reconnect with their body and support its innate capacity to heal and thrive.

What to expect

1

Your first visit

We’ll take the time to get to know you and explore how we can best support your health and healing. This comprehensive consultation includes a holistic health questionnaire, physical examination, posture scans, and a personal conversation about your health goals. If we determine that we can help you, you’ll receive a gentle chiropractic adjustment tailored to your body’s needs.

2

Intensive phase

In this stage, we focus on restoring balance in your spine and nervous system through precise, effective adjustments. The sessions are short yet powerful. Repetition is key as it helps teach your brain new, healthier neurological patterns. During this phase, we usually see you twice per week.

3

Stabilisation phase

Your body begins to adapt to its new balance. Muscles, discs, ligaments, and connective tissues get the chance to heal and strengthen. This will help prevent your body from slipping back into old, protective patterns. To support this process, adjustments are usually scheduled once per week.

4

Wellness care

We continue to support your health for as long as you feel it is best serving you. Just like eating well, moving your body, and giving yourself time to rest, regular chiropractic care is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Together, we’ll decide the rhythm that works best for you and your goals.

Gizem Dalay

“Walking into this studio feels like a modern-day sanctuary, realigning body, mind, and spirit. From the first sessions, my breathing, posture, and wellbeing improved far more than expected. Dan is my go-to chiropractor, and Tory is equally impressive, skilled, confident, and supportive. The whole team is warm and kind. I’m incredibly grateful to have found this place!”

Kostadin Donchev

“Since starting treatment at Solar, I feel much better in myself and have far more energy.

My two-year-old daughter, who is very energetic and active, now also goes to Solar. She loves it, and I can see that it benefits her just as much as it does me.

In short, Solar is a place where you feel heard and where you truly make progress.”

No medication, weekly treatments, and learning to really listen to my body and act on it (and yes, that can be challenging at times). The sense of safety I feel and the love I receive during treatment are heartwarming and healing. I haven’t had an episode for several weeks now.”
