Do you find it a struggle to get a full night’s sleep? Maybe you power down your digital devices, avoid caffeine before bed, and keep your bedroom dark and cool, but you still can’t get a good night’s sleep. Your sleep posture could be the culprit.
Your slumber posture is critical in spinal alignment. This could significantly affect your overall health. When you sleep in the right position, you can help maintain the natural curve of your spine.
This alignment supports your muscles and joints and contributes to more effective recovery processes during sleep. During these crucial nighttime hours, the brain works to flush out toxins accumulated throughout the day. Ensuring you are positioned correctly may make a noticeable difference in your physical and mental wellbeing.
How We Address Sleep-Related Postural Issues
Despite the importance of proper slumber posture, many of us unknowingly adopt positions that could harm our health. One of the major postural mistakes people make is sleeping on their stomachs. This position may significantly strain the neck and shoulders as you twist your head to one side to breathe. Such a habit might disrupt spinal alignment and cause discomfort, potentially affecting your shut-eye quality and overall health.
At Dalkeith Chiropractic, we use Advanced Biostructural Correction™ (ABC™), a full-body, hands-on analysis and adjustment system. It differs from most other chiropractic techniques because it only corrects spinal misalignments that the body can’t self-correct.
Our chiropractors can guide you on how to avoid detrimental sleeping positions. We strongly recommend either sleeping on your side with a pillow at the correct height or lying on your back without a pillow to maintain optimal spinal alignment.
