Does sleeping position matter?

Does sleeping position matter?

Chiropractor Vero Beach, Fl.- Aside from stomach sleeping, no.  Sleeping on your stomach with your head turned 90 degrees one direction all night is probably the worst position.  Side or back sleeping positions tend to be the best.  The most important thing is to make sure you get good, quality rest.  Doesn’t matter what position you are in. If you are not sleeping, then it’s a bad position.  Usually on your side with a pillow between your knees tends to be the best position.  Keeping in mind to keep your head in line with the rest of your body.  Shoulder pathologies can make this difficult, so the position is dependent on each individual.  A pillow too tall or too low, is bad.  Just make sure you are getting good quality rest.   Dr. Thomas Harmody is a chiropractor at Vero Walk-In Chiropractic and Wellness in Vero Beach, Fl.
