Sleeping Positions play a role in how you feel the next day.

General guidelines for sleeping:

• Sleep so that your back is in a neutral position. The neutral position keeps the back in its natural 3 front-to-back curves that give the spine an “S” shape.

• Use a towel roll to support your lower back or place a pillow under your knees when sleeping on your back.

• Place a pillow between your knees when sleeping on your side.

• Place a pillow under knees if desired when sleeping on your back.

To rise from bed:

• Roll onto your side and bend both knees.
• Drop your feet over the side of the bed as you push with both arms to sit up.
• Scoot to the edge of the bed and position your feet under your buttocks.
• Stand up, keeping your back in the neutral position.

Position to avoid:

• Sleeping on your stomach should be avoided

• Puts strain on neck and low back.

• Position can undo or decrease the progress of your adjustments and chiropractic care.
