Three Questions To Ask Yourself If You’re Waking Up With Neck Pain

Jan 19, 2016

If you’ve noticed any unusual changes to your sleep pattern or are waking up in the morning sore and stiff, this could be in response to a number of issues dedicated to your health.

Understanding Your Neck Pain

Under this scenario, there are three specific questions you should ask yourself:

Is It Your Mattress?

The first question you should ask yourself under this type of circumstance is, “how old is my bed?”

If the answer is at least over 10 years old or if your mattress is noticeably sagging in the area you tend to sleep in, it’s time to treat yourself to a new bed.

The fact is, regardless of brand value and initial cost, all mattresses eventually wear down and lose their initial elasticity. Even those that come with a 20-25 year guarantee tend to experience some type of warranty malfunction or soften years in advance.

Is It Me?

Another question to ask yourself if you are experiencing chronic neck pain is, “What type of position am I sleeping in?”

Sleeping on your stomach can create significant stress on your back, especially if your mattress sees you sliding into a worn down pocket of space.

If this the position you tend to find yourself in, you can easily correct your posture to remove excessive strain on your back area by propping yourself up on your side with extra pillows.

Is This Avoidable?

If there are underlying issues that become suddenly apparent when you don’t have anything to do other than lay in bed, you might be ignoring your neck or back pain, opposed to addressing it.

Under this scenario, your body might be trying to communicate with you that it’s time to visit an AICA Chiropractor.
