The ProAdjuster Sleep System by iSleep
The leading contributing factor to sleeping difficulties is the actual sleeping surface. After over one year of evaluating dozens of sleeping surfaces, ProSolutions for Chiropractic has completed negotiations and has obtained exclusive rights to the only customized bed available in the United States!
|
This is truly a remarkable feat that became official in May 2006 when we signed the agreement between ProSolutions for Chiropractic and iSleep Incorporated. The significance of this agreement is revealed in the fact that in the 33 years since iSleep was founded, they have never engaged in this type of relationship - inside or outside - the chiropractic profession. This is a true indication of the respect and trust they have found in ProSolutions. |
|
A testimonial to the quality and the certainty of the ProAdjuster Sleep System by iSleep is that each and every system that is ordered comes with an unconditional 30 Day “Test Rest” program. This unmatched policy means that if for any reason our patients are not completely satisfied with the Sleep System for 30 full nights, they can return it – with absolutely no obligation.
For an in-depth understanding of the ProAdjuster Sleep System by iSleep, please see your local ProAdjuster Doctor for a capabilities brochure.
The Customized ProAdjuster Pillow
Sleep posture is a significant factor in the treatment of conditions such as neck trauma, tension headaches, or arthritis of the back and neck. Plastic deformation (soft tissue stretching) and musculoskeletal instability can develop when the cervical spine is not adequately supported during sleep. Painful misalignment of the spine may result.
|
The Customized ProAdjuster Pillow supports the neck with gentle traction during sleep. The head, neck, and spine are aligned whether the patient lies on his or her back or side. This allows plastic deformation to be virtually eliminated. The result is therefore a normalized physiologic curve which may improve vascular and neurological function. |
Much like the choice of the “perfect bed” the phrase “One Size Does Not Fit All …” applies to choosing the right pillow. On average, we spend one third of our life in bed. If we sleep on a pillow that does not address our specific needs, we are likely causing repetitive strain on important neck structures. Therefore, we have created the ultimate cervical support system for our patients:
- Custom-made support for your individual postural needs
- 2-Year Freedom Guarantee
- Three unique versions: One for people who sleep on their backs, one for people who sleep on their sides, and one for people who sleep equally on their backs and sides.
Supplementation: Sleep Like a Pro, Multi Pro, Stress Control Pro
|
Why is supplementation a necessary component of ProAdjuster Sleep Protocol? The answer is quite simple. Our foods today are not nutritionally as complete in vitamins and minerals as they once were. Over the years, our soil has become depleted and food preservatives have robbed the essential nutrients from our foods, especially the vital elements calcium and magnesium, which are essential for proper sleep. |
|
Drinking Water
|
Dehydration is a very subtle process, and most do not realize the process is occurring, because of simply not feeling thirsty. Without proper water intake, the body cannot cleanse and detoxify itself properly by eliminating wastes. Some symptoms of improper water intake include insomnia, headache, fatigue, feeling hungry, constipation, and the presence of dry lips and skin. |
So, how much water is enough?
A good general rule of thumb is that the average human being should consume at least half their body weight in ounces of water per day. In other words, a 180 pound male should consume at least 90 ounces of water per day.
Proportional Eating
For each of your 3-5 meals of the day, the following rule should consistently apply:
- One portion of protein
- One portion of carbohydrate
- 1/10th portion of fat
|
A great way to determine portion size is by comparing it to the size of the palm of your hand. For example, the proper proportion of a protein for a meal may be a chicken breast. This coupled with a properly portioned carbohydrate, perhaps a baked potato or a fruit salad would be the right amount of food. A portion of fat can be “measured” to be the size of the tip of the thumb. This may be found in a sauce, or a spoonful of sour cream. |
|
Proper portioning of the three food components (protein, carbohydrates and fats) of each meal will accomplish the improvement in your sleeping cycles by allowing your body to perform using the highest quality of fuel combinations. It is much like putting high quality fuel into the gas tank of your vehicle. Also, while your body is performing better, your energy levels will perceptibly improve.

Stretching and Exercising
Stretching and exercising on a daily basis is very important for our patients and is becoming popular in the workplace as a safety measure in order to enhance safety. The number one reason for proper stretching and exercising is for injury prevention. Stretching and exercising helps to stabilize joints that are put under stress with activities. Joints under stress that are left unhandled may develop osteoarthritis, contributing to future further injury.
Athletes, computer operators, assembly line workers, teachers, and professionals are all equally susceptible to injuries of this type, and all need to be conscious of strengthening the spine, spine muscles, and the core structures of the body including the abdominal muscles.
Stress Control
|
One of the vital issues that keep your body functioning at its best is to ensure that you’re in the best physical condition possible. This includes adding exercise into weekly routine. Even a simple walking program will increase energy levels during the day and aid with more restful sleep at night. Many people shy away from exercising because they are afraid of injuring themselves. It is very important that we encourage, moderate and facilitate your exercise routines. |
