How Your Sleep Is Triggering Your Neck Pain

Neck pain is any discomfort or stiffness in the cervical spine. It's often the result of poor posture, muscle strain, and injury. Sleep can also trigger neck pain when a person sleeps in an uncomfortable position or on a pillow that does not provide adequate support, causing strain on the neck muscles and joints. If you're unable to sleep due to neck pain in Novi, Livonia, and Howell, MI, or sleep is causing your physical aggravation, contact our Rehabilitation Physicians to find out how we can improve your quality of rest.

How Your Sleep Is Triggering Your Neck Pain 

Sleeping in the wrong position or using an uncomfortable pillow can trigger neck pain. Sleeping at an awkward angle can cause your head to twist while sleeping on your back can push your head forward and result in cervical spine discomfort. Similarly, if a pillow doesn't provide adequate head and neck support, it can cause neck pain. If you snore or have sleep apnea, you may also be at a higher risk of neck discomfort because snoring and sleep apnea can cause the muscles in the neck to become overworked, leading to strain and pain. Fortunately, your symptoms are preventable and treatable.
