Woke up with a stiff and painful neck?  Sleep and neck pain are tightly intertwined and the ‘ I slept funny’ phenomenon is a daily encounter at Spearwood Chiropractic. In this post, we will explore how your sleep can affect your neck. 
Sleep is an important rest and recovery process for our body. We spend about 1/3 of our day sleeping. Therefore, the quality and posture of our sleep play an important role to ensure that we don’t exert extra stress and pressure on our muscles and joints in our spine. 
 
Our neck consists of delicate and highly mobile vertebrae to allow smooth and coordinated range of movements. The joints can get injured when the quality and posture of our sleeps are compromised. Two of the most common issues with sleep related neck pain are:

1. Poor pillow ergonomic and sleep position















​Poor sleeping position or poorly supporting pillow can cause additional stress and pressure on our delicate neck joints. This could result in compression and locking of the neck joints. 
 
Sleeping on our stomach is the most common culprit and is highly discouraged. 
 
A good supporting pillow is also important in distributing even pressure on our neck. We would encourage using a contoured pillow with adequate height to help support your neck during your sleep. 

2. Lack of quality sleep
Sleep is an important resting and recovery process. Lack of quality sleeps can trigger the sympathetic nervous system and stress response. As we’ve touched on before, the sympathetic nervous system, when activated for the long term, can cause a myriad of issues on our body system. When it comes to our spinal system, long-term sympathetic dominance can cause tight muscles and stiff joints. 
Neck pain and neck stiffness are closely related to the ergonomic and quality of our sleeps. Apart from treating the initial neck pain and inflammation, our chiropractors will also assess your sleeping positions to help with your problem in the long-term. 

Some common conditions our chiropractor treats are low back pain, neck pain, headache, sporting injuries, postural issues, nerve entrapment, sciatica, jaw pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, elbow pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain and foot pain.
