Getting enough sleep is crucial for maintaining a healthy spine. In this article, Dr. Marc Bony, DC, a chiropractor in Mataró, explains how to choose the best sleeping position and avoid spinal subluxations.
Sleeping Position
He likes to sleep on his STOMACH………..well, that's the worst sleeping position. If you sleep on your side, FETAL POSITION, the pillow you should choose has to be high enough but soft at the same time, to keep your head level with your skeleton. The pillow should not cause your neck to bend sideways, upward, or downward.
The pillow should keep your neck at a level that keeps your vertebrae aligned with the rest of your spine.
The other sleeping position is face up with a tiny pillow
We spend a lot of time in bed, and the quality of our sleep is very important. Change your habits, and you'll see your health improve dramatically.
