Sleeping Positions That Could Be Causing Your Back Pain

If you wake up with back pain, your sleeping position might be to blame. The way you sleep can have a significant impact on your spinal health. Here’s a breakdown of common sleep positions and how they might be affecting your back—plus some tips from Elite Chiropractic & Rehab to wake up pain-free.

The Culprits: Problematic Sleep Positions
Stomach Sleeping: Sleeping on your stomach can strain your neck and spine, leading to misalignment. This position forces your neck into an awkward twist and flattens the natural curve of your spine.

Curling up: While curling up with your legs near your stomach might feel cozy, an exaggerated infant-like position can round your back, causing stiffness and discomfort. It’s best to keep your spine as straight as possible while sleeping.

Sleep Positions That Help Your Back
Back Sleeping: Sleeping on your back is often considered the best position for spinal alignment. Adding a small pillow under your knees can help maintain the natural curve of your lower back.

Side Sleeping: Sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees can reduce strain on your lower back and hips. Make sure your head pillow supports your neck and keeps your spine aligned.

To improve your sleep posture, start by investing in a supportive mattress and pillows that are tailored to your specific sleeping position. If you’re unsure about your posture or have persistent discomfort, consider booking a visit with us. Our team can help identify and address any imbalances, ensuring better alignment and a more restful night’s sleep.

If back pain is keeping you up at night, our team is here to help with personalized care and advice.

5 Ways Poor Posture Impacts Your Daily Life

Maintaining good posture isn’t just about looking confident; it’s essential for your overall health and wellness. Here are five unexpected ways slouching might be taking a toll on you—and how Elite Chiropractic & Rehab can help.

1. Back and Neck Pain

This one might seem obvious, but poor posture is a major contributor to chronic back and neck pain. When you slouch, your spine is misaligned, putting strain on muscles and joints. Chiropractic adjustments may help realign your spine, relieving tension and preventing further discomfort.

2. Headaches

Did you know that slouching can lead to tension headaches? Poor posture often strains the neck and shoulder muscles, which can trigger headaches. Regular chiropractic care aims to address these tension points and help you find relief.

3. Digestive Issues

Slouching compresses your abdominal area, which can interfere with proper digestion. If you’re experiencing bloating or slow digestion, improving your posture might make a big difference. Elite Chiropractic & Rehab can also recommend exercises to improve your posture and, in turn, your digestion.

4. Reduced Energy Levels

When your body is out of alignment, it has to work harder to maintain balance, which can drain your energy. Chiropractic care optimizes your alignment, helping you feel more energized throughout the day.

5. Poor Mood

Believe it or not, poor posture may even affect your mental health. Studies show that slouching may contribute to feelings of stress and low mood.

At Elite Chiropractic & Rehab, we’re here to help you take control of your posture and your health. Whether you’re dealing with pain or just want to feel your best, schedule an appointment today to learn how our team can help you stand taller.

A wonderful testimony from our friends at Orangetheory Fitness Bloomington! If you're looking to improve your health and conditioning, this is a great place with wonderful staff and owners! I encourage you to take that first step and GO THERE!

Sincerely,
Dr. Brown

In Dec. 2022, I noticed a flutter in my chest ❤️. After many EKGs, stress tests, CT scans, and monitoring, my cardiologist found that I had AFIB and was in AFIB more than 40% of each day. I was on two medications 💊 and waited until June 2023 for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation surgery.

In August my cardiologist approved me to work out 💪. However, I still wasn’t ready and hit an emotional all-time low. I couldn’t believe I was 54, had heart issues, was overweight, and was facing Type-II diabetes. My dear friend Robin and I talked about joining OTF 🍑. Joining has been one of the best decisions I made for my health 🧡 and psychological well-being 🧠. I love to work out now! 

I remember my first 2000M row 🛶 benchmark with Danielle and asking, what if I’m last? She told me, it doesn’t matter where you finish…it’s that you’re here doing it. During that row, I was last, I had a few meters left and Danielle was by my side cheering me on 📣. This day, I knew that OTF wasn’t your typical gym. I’ve been a member for over a year. I’ve lost weight, gained muscle, ran a 5K, and achieved PRs 🔥. Recently, I saw my cardiologist and physician, and I’m thrilled to say that my blood work is perfect and my heart is healthy. My cardiologist is very happy with my new heart healthy lifestyle. OTF is filled with genuine staff who care about each member. I am beyond blessed by them.

Our latest 5-star review!

I fell on the ice last night and severely hurt my lower back. I googled for the best chiropractor in bloomington, and saw that elite had a perfect 5 star rating and thought I'd give them a try. I quickly found out why they have that perfect score. They were full when I called, but they made time for me, as I am traveling and don't know anyone here.
I wasn't rushed for a quick adjustment, he took his time, exrayed me and showed me some things that I wasn't even aware of on the xrays. I received a full adjustment, "not just the injured back" and when I stood up, I was about 90 percent bettet. I made a follow up appt for tomorrow morning and will certainly be there.
These people really care about their patients and deserve more than the top score of 5. I've been here once, and I trust them with my life.
