- Sleeping on Your Side
- Sleeping on your side is another way to keep you aligned, but there is a correct way to sleep on your side. It’s easy to fall into a twisted position while your asleep on your side.
- Fetal Position
- Sleeping in the fetal position will not keep you aligned but it is a good option for those who have a herniated disc or any pain associated with pinched nerves. Next time you’re in, ask Dr. Eric if he would recommend this sleeping position for you!
