Your sleep position could be adding stress to your spine and making your back pain worse. Try these simple adjustments for a better night’s rest:

1️⃣ Back sleeping → pillow under knees
This helps maintain the natural curve of your spine and reduces lower back strain.

2️⃣ Side sleeping → pillow between knees
Keeps your hips, pelvis, and spine aligned to ease pressure points.

3️⃣ Supportive mattress
A medium-firm mattress often provides the best balance of comfort and support.

4️⃣ Aligned pillow (head + spine)
Make sure your pillow keeps your neck in line with your back, not tilted forward or back.

5️⃣ Skip stomach sleeping
This position twists the spine and can increase neck and back pain.

Still waking up sore? Relief is possible.

Movement matters. Gentle stretches and core-strengthening exercises can help support your spine, improve posture, and reduce flare-ups of back pain.

✅ Stretch daily to release tension
✅ Strengthen your core to protect your back
✅ Stay consistent for lasting results

Always check with your primary care provider before starting new exercises — especially if you’re dealing with chronic pain.

📞 Call 805-209-4303 if your back pain persists or keeps you from enjoying daily life.

Your daily setup matters more than you think. Poor ergonomics at home or work can strain your back, shoulders, and neck — leading to chronic pain over time.

✅ Keep your screen at eye level
✅ Use a supportive chair
✅ Take standing breaks
✅ Keep your feet flat on the floor

Small changes = big relief. If back pain is already part of your day, we can help. Call 805-209-4303 to explore personalized treatment options.

Most people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. But the causes aren’t always the same. From muscle strain and poor posture to herniated discs and arthritis, knowing what’s behind your pain is the first step toward lasting relief.

If your back pain keeps coming back, it may be time to see a specialist. Call 805-209-4303 to schedule an evaluation with our spine experts.

Most knee pain can improve with rest and self-care, but there are certain red flags you shouldn’t ignore:

🚩 Sudden severe pain or swelling
🚩 Inability to bear weight
🚩 Locking, catching, or giving way
🚩 Visible deformity
🚩 Signs of infection (heat, redness, fever)

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s important to seek medical attention right away.

Knee pain can be frustrating, but simple habits make a big difference.

Staying at a healthy weight eases pressure on the joints, while regular stretching and muscle strengthening improve stability. Good posture and short movement breaks throughout the day also help keep stiffness and flare-ups in check.

09/25/2025

Healthy circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients that your knees need to repair and recover. As we age or face certain health conditions, reduced blood flow can slow healing and make injuries linger.

Supporting circulation through movement, stretching, and lifestyle habits can help your knees heal more effectively.

09/24/2025

Hiking puts extra demands on your knees, especially with added weight from a backpack or steep trails.

Uneven terrain, long descents, and heavy loads can all increase joint stress. To protect your knees, focus on proper footwear, strengthening leg muscles, and using trekking poles to reduce impact.
