Best Sleeping Position For Back Pain, Neck Pain & Sciatica

- How to sleep for back pain, neck pain & sciatica boils down to one thing: sleeping in a neutral sleeping posture allows the spinal joints to sit on each other in a way that minimises compression, irritation, and overstretching muscle. But it’s harder than it sounds to find a neutral sleeping position.
Lying face down twists the neck & jaw, and increased the lower back arch adding to lumbar pain and sciatica. Lying face up can increase the low back arch too, and if you loll your head to one side it can increase neck pain. Our shoulders and hips stick out further than the rest of us, making in hard to find a good sleeping position for neck and back pain when we lie on the side in bed. So, in this video my skeleton assistant, Indiana Bones, helps show you exactly what the best sleeping positions for your back pain and neck pain are.

What position is the most comfortable for you?
What's comfortable for me at the time usually leaves my back in pain later, I tend to fold myself up like origami to sleep.
I cannot fall into deep sleep unless i sleep on my stomache, which leaves me aching all day unfortunately. I'll try the sleep on back position and hopefully pick it up as a habit.
This video makes perfect sense. I often wake up with hip and shoulder pain..
Cheers Alswedgin. I appreciate all the supportive comments you make! 🙏🙏🙏🙌

Amazing, thanks bro

worse part is people would rather go to a doc and get pain meds than do what's necessary to fix the problem such as DAILY stretching and sleeping as such..I love your channel. I always send my husband your videos 😂
Thanks JessMarie. Appreciated!👍🙏

You're welcome

Which pillow is correct. Please suggest pillow
What is best sleeping position for ddd ?
Thank you for a very informative video! Is sleeping on the back without a pillow ok?
Yes in fact it's very good for posture too. But the only problem is that if you turn onto your side and you don't have a pillow, you won't be supported correctly. So I only recommend lying on your back with no pillow if you never turn onto your side
So i accomplished to make all mistakes while laying on the side 🤔 i might have to rethink my sleeping position although thats how my body might have developed over time to feel most comfortable while sleeping
🔝🔝 Thank you
👍👍👍 my pleasure!
instructions unclear, i forgot to wake up
Lol. It helped you so much that you got to fall asleep?
That's great.
Excellent suggestions ! Where can you buy those socks ? :)
"Happy Socks" Cat socks!! ✌️
Nice to watch. Thanks. But will it work while we sleep ?
I address that at the end of the video 👌
Ok sir
Can upper back muscle inflammation be reversed?
You missed out the thoracic spine as most people do.
Thanks..where is exactly L4 and L5 of left leg..pain
L4 and L5 are the lowest two lumbar vertebrae
Ok who sleeps face down like that
👍
🙌
Comfortable side-sleeping: #1 reason to have a body pillow.
Question: Sometimes I end up rolling to my other side at night and forget to take my body pillow with me, but still wake up completely comfortably as long as the body pillow behind me is clutched between my calves. Is the pillow still providing corrective support that way, or is the lack of consequences likely just an artifact of waterbed sleeping?
Probably a combination. If it's "clutched between" your calves, it's likely still helping to stop the top knee from going forward too much
@@BodyFixExercises Good to know. Thanks for answering my question!
Who will be sleeping on such a table with a hard surface?
Instead of having the body fit a flat and hard surface,how about sleeping on a bed with a surface that will better fit the body curve, e.g. high-density foam?
I kinda just assume you won't sleep on a chiropractic table like this and sleep in an actual bed. 😉
What worked for me = thin or no pillow
Face up? Can you stay there the whole night?
Same
It' so difficult.!
🤷🏼♂️ bit by bit
Im Laufe der Nacht schmeiße ich die Kissen bei Seite und ich wache auf , weil es überall schmerzt . Wer bleibt schon die ganze Nacht mit den Kissen so artig liegen
I'd rather just 'crash' wherever i fall.
😆
Don't pretend you staying this position whole night.
I swap from side to side
Don't sleep on your side. You will get wrinkles on your face .
But what if you are sleeping with a wife?
Then you have a ready made body pillow. Or you can be her body pillow.
