Proper Sleeping Positions for Neck Pain, Back Pain, Pinched Nerves and Sciatica / Dr. Mandell
Incorrect Sleeping will irritate the nerves of the spine leading to pain and inflammation of the muscles of the spine. This can lead to pain and numbness into the arms from the neck or pain into the buttocks and legs coming from the lower back. Never sleep on your stomach because this stresses the lower back, causes the neck to be turned 45 degrees to one side, and puts stress on the organs from weight bearing of the chest. There is nothing like a good nights sleep, so do it right! Dr. Mandell
Hi Doc, I love your videos. Ive learnt a lot from them. Where can I get a cervical Pillow?
If they have any bed bath and beyond or Amazon
it’s so complicated being human
Ashirbad Rout do you spend a lot of time on your phone, computer? Watch Gokhale, she has good videos on posture as well. Prayers that you heal completely, you’re too young to go through this, so sorry.

You ok?
I sleep on my stomach and with my arm above my head, usually my head resting on my shoulder, which now is giving me a lot of shoulder pain coupled with spending long hours at a computer so I’m now trying to see if I can force myself to sleep in a more natural position. I am curious if sleeping on our back with our knees elevated, why aren’t mattresses created with these features in mind. Surely there’s money to be made there?
Good point Paul??
Doc, I love you. Seriously your advice has been a tremendous amount of help. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

Love it when you end your videos with “Make it a great day.!” Reminds us that it is up to ourselves to make our days great!
Thank you so much sir. I used to struggle getting up from the bed.
is there any way to treat a stiff neck? 2 herniated disc from the past. looks like im having alot of pain in the neck area from time to time. it’s extremely painful and forces anyone to quit the gym
This was from 5 years ago and he hasn’t aged a single bit between 2012-2017!! Whoa!
You da man!
I’m Muslim, in Islam it says that you should not sleep on your stomach. I always wondered why that advice was in the religion, Im understanding if now. It compresses the organs for one. And it causes the organs to lay in a suspended position, as oppose to on your back, the organs are resting in place
I like this posture treatment “doso shocking guide” (Google it)! I`ve slouched most of my adult life, and was finally determined to fix my posture after a friend commented I was slouching at the gym. Making use of this material, my muscles are now being targeted for correcting my posture. After using it the very first day, I can already tell the difference in my posture.
hello Sir..I am facing problem of a pain in right side of neck to right shoulder…n also in middle area of back while facing down. can I use this remedy? I m 28 years old n it has been a month. it’s not constant but happens once or twice a week
When my Scoliosis developed to S shape, I forced myself to sleep on my back instead of my stomach. It is still a struggle to get enough rest but I believe I will find a proper solution for my situation. Thanks for the advice. I just avoid pillows underneath my head. Anything else I can use for neck support?
I found a video for my question. Either way THANKS worth information!
I actually dread going to sleep because no matter what position I’m in it hurts my neck!
Thanks for the advice!
