Many patients tell us they sleep better after treatment, and Brenda, Doctor of Chiropractic, explores one possible reason: cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. Cortisol normally peaks in the morning and falls at night, but ongoing stress or pain can keep it higher in the evening, making restful sleep harder. Brenda shares simple tips that may help, including morning light, a consistent wake time, a calm wind-down routine and stress-reducing habits.

Every injury heals through 3 stages: inflammation, repair, and remodelling. How long it takes depends on the tissue involved - bone heals in weeks, while tendons, ligaments and nerves can take months to years. Age, movement, and following a rehab plan all affect recovery speed.
