Melatonin Supplementation: Natural Sleep Support in Upper Darby
Struggling with falling asleep, staying asleep, or feeling rested in the morning? Sleep issues are more common than you think—and poor sleep can take a serious toll on your health. At Everybody’s Chiropractic Center in Upper Darby, PA, we help patients from Havertown, Drexel Hill, and nearby areas understand how simple tools like melatonin supplementation may support deeper rest, improved recovery, and overall wellness.
Whether you’re battling stress, chronic pain, or nerve irritation, quality sleep is essential for healing—and melatonin could be the missing link.
What Is Melatonin and What Does It Do?
Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by your brain in response to darkness. It helps regulate your circadian rhythm, also known as your internal clock. When melatonin levels rise in the evening, your body starts to wind down, preparing for rest. If your melatonin production is disrupted—by stress, screen time, shift work, or aging—you may have trouble falling or staying asleep.
Melatonin supplementation offers a natural way to reset your sleep cycle and improve the quality of your rest—without dependency or grogginess the next morning.
Signs You Might Benefit from Melatonin Supplementation
Many of our patients come to us with complaints related to poor sleep. Here are some common signs that melatonin could be helpful:
- Trouble falling asleep at night
- Waking frequently during the night
- Feeling tired or sluggish in the morning
- Jet lag or inconsistent sleep schedule
- Increased muscle pain, nerve sensitivity, or inflammation
If you’re dealing with these symptoms, and especially if you’re also receiving chiropractic care, SoftWave therapy, or spinal decompression, better sleep could mean faster healing and more lasting relief.
Benefits of Melatonin for Chiropractic Patients
Sleep is when your body recovers—both physically and mentally. That’s why we often discuss melatonin as part of a holistic care plan, especially for patients managing conditions like:
- Neck and back pain
- Shoulder blade discomfort or tension
- Numbness and tingling in the arms, legs, or hands
- Posture-related muscle fatigue
- Chronic stress and inflammation
By improving sleep quality, melatonin supplementation can enhance the effectiveness of your chiropractic treatments, help muscles relax, and promote nerve recovery.
How to Take Melatonin Safely and Effectively
Melatonin is generally considered safe when taken at the right dose and time. However, more is not always better. Most adults benefit from small doses (0.5 to 3 mg) taken 30–60 minutes before bed. Higher doses can sometimes lead to drowsiness or disrupt your natural rhythm.
At our Upper Darby office, we can guide you on:
- Choosing a high-quality melatonin supplement
- Timing your dose to align with your schedule
- Combining melatonin with other healthy sleep habits
For some patients, melatonin is best used short-term to reset sleep cycles, while others may benefit from longer use under professional guidance.
