Spine Wellness Tip: Sleep Talk

It has been estimated that an individual will spend approximately 25 to 33% of their life sleeping! Yet wellness is always focused on the awake hours; exercise, diet, life-style tips, etc. This spine wellness tip will provide a few ideas for maintaining a healthy spine while sleeping – helping to avoid back pain!

Select a good mattress and pillow! The key is one that is comfortable where you get “restorative” sleep – which is a period of time of uninterrupted sleep!
Maintain proper support of your head and spine while sleeping. Your neck should maintain its natural alignment when you are sleeping.
Ideally, if you can sleep on your back or side – this provides the most spine support.
