At the Marc Bony Chiropractic Center in Mataró, we understand the importance of a good night’s sleep for your overall well-being. Learn how chiropractic care can help you sleep better and improve your natural health.
Sleep Well, Mataró
*Pillows should be small and help keep the neck and shoulders level.
*They must be used correctly
*They must have the right filling and the right amount.
*Spinal problems + a bad pillow + poor posture = Rest (sometimes).
A healthy spine + the right pillow + the right position = Quality sleep and well-being.
*The ideal pillow is one that supports your head so that your neck vertebrae are aligned with the rest of your spine.
Avoid sleeping with two pillows; never lie down on the sofa with your head resting on the armrest.
*The best sleeping position is on your back with a pillow like the ones mentioned above or without a pillow, depending on what's most comfortable for you.
*If you have lower back pain, you can place two pillows under your knees when sleeping on your back or one pillow between your legs when sleeping on your side, but always remember to keep your neck level.
BREAK
*Set aside some special time each day for complete physical and mental relaxation. This is important for restoring—as well as maintaining—your optimal health.
*Make sure to get enough sleep so your body can recover and repair itself.
*Sleep on your back or on your side with your legs slightly bent, not pressed against your chest. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Raise your head off the pillow when changing positions.
*Don't sleep sitting up in chairs, armchairs, or in cramped spaces. Lie down in bed when it's time to sleep.
BEDS
*Before starting chiropractic care, a combination of spine-related issues, poor-quality pillows, and uncomfortable beds may still allow you to get some rest (perhaps). Once care begins, a good pillow, bed, and chairs are essential for getting a good night’s sleep and healing.
*Sleep on a firm mattress, preferably one that is neither too hard nor too soft, but firm enough to support your body evenly, while still soft enough to allow your shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress.
