One of the most common causes of spinal misalignment is a poor sleeping position.
Sleeping on one’s stomach is often a source of trouble. In this position, the cervical spine
is placed in continual stress and can potentially cause shifting of vertebrae. Similarly,
vertebrae can shift while sleeping on one’s back if a pillow is too high or too low; it is
important for the body to rest in a normal position. To receive a long-lasting benefit from
chiropractic adjustments, it may be necessary to adopt new, more natural sleeping habits,
such as sleeping on one’s side or back using a pillow of the correct size and shape.

Once the atlas has been properly aligned, it must maintain its correct position
for a period of time in order for the supportive ligaments to regain their integrity
and their ability to stabilize this complex joint articulation. Incorrect postures can
upset this important alignment of the atlas and hinder its ability to stabilize.
