Sleep and Its Role in Chiropractic Patient Recovery

Written By Brandon Steele

Sleep plays a critical role in patient recovery, influencing pain, healing, and overall performance. In this episode, Dr. Bertelsman and Dr. Steele break down the latest research and share practical strategies to help chiropractic patients improve sleep quality. From posture and lifestyle habits to pillows, mattresses, and bedtime routines, learn how to guide patients toward deeper, more restorative sleep while supporting total-body wellness.

To help you deliver this information effectively, we’ve created a chiropractic sleep toolkit. Available to our subscribers on their homepage, this toolkit includes downloadable resources, infographics, and practical guides you can share directly with patients. By integrating these tools into your patient education and EHR platform, you can elevate every interaction, save time, and provide clear, actionable guidance on sleep, posture, and overall wellness.
