A night full of snoring, may interrupt the sleeping patterns and make one feel tired even on a full night of sleep. Add to that a partner who has their sleep interrupted and there needs to be ways to find a remedy fast.
Why Do We Snore?
Snoring occurs when the soft muscle structures of the upper airway vibrate irregularly and constrict the airways. The resulting ‘snoring’, which ranges from mild to severe, is a sign that your airway may be partially blocked.
From people that snore loudly, about half of them have sleep apnea. This happens when the tissue in the back of the throat collapses and blocks the entire airway, so that air cannot get into the lungs.
When the muscles inside the throat relax when sleeping, gravity may cause the tongue to fall back and block the airways. This might occur a few times a night or even several hundred.
If snoring occurs on an occasional basis, there are easy and practical solutions to follow or see a chiropractor for snoring. A person may be congested due to allergies or colds blocking the nasal cavity.
Unhealthy eating habits that lead to weight gain, smoking or drinking alcohol and other substance abuse may also lead to heavy snoring.
The following natural remedies may improve snoring caused by temporary factors:
- Exercise that might firm up the muscles found in the neck and throat region
- Change the sleeping posture from the back to the side. Sleeping flat on one’s back may cause the tongue to fall back into the throat thus constricting the air passage
- Exercise to lose weight and to burn the fatty tissue around the neck area to prevent constriction of airway and for general well-being
- Sleeping with more pillows may help lift the head up to clear the air passage
- Alcohol and sedative avoidance to help relax the soft muscles in the throat
- Stop smoking as it unduly causes congestion of the nasal cavity and airway
- Allergens that are nesting in pillows, bed and room that cause allergies might be eliminated by changing pillows and washing them regularly
- Hydrate the nose and soft palate by drinking more water to prevent the body fluids from getting stickier thus preventing congestion of the airway

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care for Snoring
How can chiropractic care help with snoring?
Chiropractic care focuses on aligning the spine and ensuring optimal nervous system function. Misalignments in the spine can affect nerve signals to the muscles involved in breathing, potentially contributing to snoring.
Chiropractic adjustments aim to correct these misalignments, improving nerve function and potentially reducing snoring.
Are there specific chiropractic techniques or approaches for addressing snoring?
Chiropractors may use various techniques tailored to the individual’s needs. Common approaches include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy and exercises to improve posture and breathing mechanics.
What should I expect during a chiropractic session for snoring?
During your initial visit, Dr. Kris will likely conduct a thorough evaluation of your spine, posture, and overall health.
He may also discuss your snoring patterns, sleep habits, and any other relevant factors.
At Core Wellness Centre, we have diagnosis tools available such as digital posture analysis and x-rays if required. Based on this assessment, he will develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include adjustments and other therapies.
How many sessions might be needed to see improvement in snoring?
The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual factors such as the severity of the snoring, underlying health issues, and how well the body responds to treatment.
Some people may experience improvements early on, while others may require ongoing care to maintain results. Dr. Kris will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
