IS YOUR NECK PAIN CAUSED BY SLEEP ISSUES?
There is one more factor that often is not spoken about, but it’s a frequent cause of neck pain and discomfort: Sleeping Issues . Sometimes, sleeping in a certain position or sleeping on a mattress or pillow that is too soft or too hard will lead to neck pain. Oftentimes, this pain will appear to be chronic, as the sleeping issue is likely something that you experience day after day, causing the pain to return regularly. It may be helpful to rule out sleeping concerns as a reason behind your neck pain by assessing your sleeping conditions and making any changes that you think may be necessary. Adjust how many pillows you sleep on, the position you sleep in or even your mattress! According to Tuck Sleep, mattresses with mid-level firmness ratings (4-6 out of 10) tend to help the most with alleviating pain, as they provide a balance between comfort and support. Mattresses that are too soft or too firm can actually increase pain levels during sleep, as they can create more pressure and target certain pain points on your body.

“I have enjoyed my physical therapy since day one. When I first started some exercises were rough, but once my session was done, I felt so much better...Joe has really helped me get through this painful plantar fasciitis. I have very little pain now...I generally walk between 12,000 and 18,000 steps a day at work, so coming to P.T. after work gets me going for the rest of the evening. Thanks for all you have helped with!” - Susan T. Thanks for all you have helped with! PATIENT SPOTLIGHT
