Sleeping With Pain?

If you are sleeping with pain or have pain after sleeping you may never have been taught how to sleep without pain. Known by the ancients and rediscovered by chiropractors, explained here is the position and posture which allows you to sleep without pain.

With our Sleep System, you do not need to sleep in pain any longer. There is a way to sleep on your side that removes the tension and relaxes the spinal structures that cause back pain when sleeping.

Most sleep specialists agree that your body needs to be in a neutral position to sleep comfortably. This is absolutely correct. Most of them think that this means that your head must be level when sleeping on your side.

This is absolutely false.

Until now nobody has figured out exactly what it means to be in aneutral position when you sleep. As a result of incorrectly applying this data we see all kinds of funny shaped pillows and form fitting memory foam mattresses on the market now.

To be in a neutral position when sleeping on your side, you need a FIRM mattress to support your hip and shoulder. When you are in this position, the lower part of your spine is closer to the mattress than the upper part of your spine, simply because your shoulders are broader than your hips.

When you are on your side, your spine is not level;

it’s higher near the top at your shoulders.

Then, your head needs to be tipped up because if it is not, if it is only level, then it will be kinked right at the bottom of your neck where it meets your shoulders and cause you to toss and turn during the night because of the stress on it.

From this you can clearly see that your body position for sleeping depends on the firmness of your mattress, and also involves your pillow height.

Do you think that everyone's neutral head position is going to be the same height from the mattress?

It's not.

Do you think that your head would need to be at a different height on different beds, like a firm mattress vs. a medium mattress?

Yes, it would.

In fact, if your mattress isn't firm enough then your head won't stay at the correct height through the night. A firm mattress is requisite for the sleep system to work.

Back pain when sleeping no longer has to be a problem. 

We have designed a great mattress as the foundation of our sleep system along with an adjustable pillow to raise your head so that your spine is neutral. These are available only through EZ Posture Products or your practitioner’s office.
