Breaking Through the Night: How Chiropractic Helps Veterans with PTSD Find Peaceful Sleep
Insomnia Relief Care
Research Provided by Foundation for Chiropractic Progress
The statistic is staggering: between 90% and 100% of veterans with PTSD experience insomnia. Night after night, those who served our country fight a different battle—one against sleeplessness, tension, and the physical manifestations of trauma. At Cromwell Family Chiropractic in Farmington, MI, Dr. Jonathan Cromwell, Dr. Timothy Shaw, Dr. John Dimitriou, and Dr. John Wetherbee understand this struggle and offer hope through natural, effective care.
When Service Leaves Its Mark
Military service demands extraordinary physical and mental resilience. The body remembers—muscles hold tension, the nervous system stays hypervigilant, and sleep becomes elusive. This isn't just about counting sheep or trying meditation apps. For veterans with PTSD, insomnia represents a complex interplay of physical tension, nervous system dysregulation, and unresolved trauma stored in the body.
The connection between spinal health and sleep quality runs deeper than most realize. When your spine holds tension from years of service—carrying heavy packs, maintaining tactical positions, enduring physical stress—it directly impacts your nervous system's ability to shift into rest mode. Your body literally cannot relax when your spine is locked in a state of defense.
The Chiropractic Difference for Veteran Sleep
Our approach recognizes that healing happens when we address the whole person. Through gentle, specific adjustments, we help release the physical tension patterns that keep veterans locked in fight-or-flight mode. This isn't about cracking backs—it's about restoring communication between your brain and body, allowing natural sleep cycles to return.
Veterans often tell us they experience something unexpected during care: a sense of safety in their own bodies again. When chronic tension releases and proper alignment returns, the nervous system remembers how to rest. Sleep comes more naturally, without the fog of sleep medications or the worry of dependency.
