Fatigue
Serving the Greater San Bernardino County Area including Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, Fontana, Upland, CA
Fatigue is more than just feeling tired or worn out after a long day. It’s excessive exhaustion characterized by brain fog, a lack of motivation, physical weakness, and general sluggishness. Fatigue, unfortunately, isn’t something someone can just “snap out of.”
With the world moving faster than you can handle, Recovery Lab understands the challenges fatigue can bring – and ultimately how it can hold you back. The clock is ticking, there are things you need to get done, but, yet your mind and body are at a standstill. Sound familiar at all?
Fatigue
- What are the Causes of Fatigue?
Fatigue can be caused or triggered by one or any of the following:
- Poor sleep
- Excess stress
- Chronic inflammation
- Dehydration
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Disrupted circadian rhythm
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Hormone imbalances
- Underlying medical conditions
- What Lifestyle Changes are Recommended for Fatigue?
Fatigue can often be remediated through adequate, consistent sleep each night; proper nutrition; and staying hydrated. Managing stress and staying active are also crucial when it comes to reducing mental or physical fatigue.
For severe, chronic cases, it’s best to reach out to a medical professional to see if there’s an underlying medical reason for your fatigue.
- Can Wellness Services Help Reduce Fatigue?
They may! We have several wellness services here at Recovery Lab that may help minimize fatigue. Our services can be beneficial for both the mind and body, offering a comprehensive approach to battling fatigue.
We recommend the following services:
- Cryotherapy: Uses extremely cold air to improve blood circulation and stimulate mood-boosting endorphins, which can boost energy
- Red light therapy: Uses specific wavelengths of light that interact with your cells, and may help support energy and an overall sense of well-being
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy: Delivers a high concentration of oxygen that may help support cells with energy production
- How Can Wellness Services Improve My Sleep?
Our wellness services may help support better sleep by addressing some of the physical and mental triggers of poor sleep.
Cryotherapy and red light therapy may help calm an overactive nervous system and may support lower stress hormones in the body. With less stress, the body may be able to fall asleep more easily and experience fewer interruptions throughout the night.
Other services of ours – like percussion therapy, NormaTec compression therapy, and mobility stretching – may help ease muscle tension and soreness, which can otherwise make it difficult to fall, and stay, asleep.
While fatigue isn’t always resolved with adequate rest, in many cases, lack of sleep, inconsistent sleep sessions, or interrupted sleep can play a role. Thus, wellness services that may support better sleep may also help reduce fatigue.
- How Often Should I Get Wellness Services to Combat Fatigue?
Your ideal wellness service schedule will depend on the level and frequency of fatigue you struggle with. Your budget and availability should also be kept in mind.
If you need a short-term boost, we recommend going once or twice a week. For more persistent fatigue, two to four sessions a week are suggested.
Sticking to a consistent wellness routine may help support sustained energy and your overall quality of life.
