April 2026 Healthy News from Most Chiropractic Clinic: The Winning Combination: Chiropractic Care and Mind-Body Exercise for Pain, Sleep, and Life Wellness
THE CHIROPRACTIC POTENTIAL TO CHANGE LIVES — NOT JUST SPINES
You found your way to Most Chiropractic Clinic for your back pain — but research suggests that your chiropractic care may also be re-establishing something even more precious: your sleep, your energy, and your quality of life. Exciting 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 examined not just whether chiropractic care helped — but how and why it helped. The first, published in BMJ Open, reported that chiropractic care improved a wide range of whole-person outcomes — including sleep quality, fatigue, and physical functioning — and that these improvements were directly linked to reductions in how much back pain was interfering with 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 battles with back pain, sleepless nights, and bone-deep exhaustion will sound all too familiar to many of us. If you have been deliberating whether chiropractic care is worth a try, or whether it can help you deal with more than just pain, the answer emerging 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 Most Chiropractic Clinic is here to help!
Murfreesboro 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 support even better rest. One comes from a new study in Frontiers in Public Health that described how mind-body exercises — yoga, tai chi, or qigong — significantly improved sleep quality in middle-aged and older adults by lowering anxiety and boosting 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 Most Chiropractic Clinic. Please chat with us at your next appointment about how this may work for you. Sleep well!
