Stretch Before Bed

Chiropractors encourage patients to stretch before diving into bed each night.

Your Mattress May Be Too Old

Many who report back pain while sleeping also find that their mattress is a tad past its prime. Chiropractors and sleep experts suggest that a mattress that is older than eight years is likely to be broken down, causing a great deal of your pain. Take a look at your mattress today. If it sags, has springs coming through it, or seems to be otherwise in disrepair, consider investing in a new mattress as soon as you can.

Check Your Sleep Position

When it comes to sleeping with back pain, your sleep position may be to blame. Chiropractors say that sleeping on the back is the best way when trying to avoid shifting in the spine that leads to restriction. Still, many prefer to sleep on their stomach or side. Although it can take some time to get used to sleeping in a different position, it is well worth the battle. Start tonight making sleeping on your back your new sleep position.

Stop By Your Chiropractor

For those who struggle to manage their back pain alone, it can be helpful to drop by your chiropractor. While you are there, you will identify your needs and help to establish your personalized pain prevention plan. An adjustment by your chiropractor can be helpful in eliminating your back pain.
