How to tell if your sleeping posture is causing your neck pain or stiffness?

2/9/2016

The anatomy of your neck can be affected by bad sleeping position.

Chiropractors are one of few health care professionals who take into consideration the position and ergonomics of the spine which can create misalignment and muscle spasm in the neck.

One way that people make their neck stiff is by fighting the pillow during the night. When the pillow is high on one side we tend to press it down with our head in order to level it. Now imagine holding up a 3 lb. weight for 7 hours with your hand, even though it is very light, after 7 hours you will create spasm in your arm. In the same manner your could create neck stiffness by fighting your pillow.
