If you have an L4/L5 or L5/S1 disc bulge, one of the most frustrating parts of the day is often the morning.
Many people tell me they go to bed feeling reasonably comfortable, only to wake up stiff, sore and wondering what happened overnight.
One of the most common questions I hear in practice is:
"Craig, what's the best sleeping position for a disc bulge?"
The good news is that while there isn't one perfect sleeping position for everyone, there are a few simple changes that can make a significant difference. In this article, I'll explain why mornings can feel worse, the sleeping position I recommend for most people, which position I'd try to avoid, and how to get in and out of bed without irritating your back.
I've also included my YouTube video link below, if you would like to watch it.
