How Good is Your Pillow?

You sleep eight hours a night and wake up with a sore neck, feeling like your get-up-and-go, got up and went! Did you ever think that your pillow might have something to do with it?

Sleeping Woman

While a good night's sleep starts with a quiet dark room and a comfortable mattress, how you sleep on that mattress really does matter. The muscles that support your neck and back during your waking hours need to get the proper rest to be able to do their job each day.

The best position for sleep is lying on your side because it helps maintain the natural S-curve in your spine. Sleeping on your stomach arches the spine and makes the back and neck muscles work overtime. No wonder you wake up tired!

If you still choose to sleep on your stomach, it helps to place pillows under your lower back and between your knees to maintain the normal curve in your spine. If you sleep on your back, we recommend that you place pillows under your knees for the same reason. In addition, there are a variety of pillows that are designed to encourage side sleeping to support the spine and provide restful sleep.

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Marysville folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
