Have you ever wondered why you wake up sore in the morning? Perhaps you’ve wondered why you have trouble getting comfortable at night or why you wake up feeling restless in the morning. When it comes to battling the discomfort of back pain, believe it or not, your mattress or sleeping position could be to blame.

Back pain is not to be taken lightly and we at Chattanooga Integrated Medicine Center take it seriously.  Back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, so it’s important to ensure you’re using a mattress that benefits your physical health and supports a healthy back. Believe it or not, a mattress is a healthcare product that is vital for optimum physical health. While we are not here to recommend a specific mattress or mattress type, we can tell you a poor mattress will affect our ability to recover from the stressful stimuli which, when sleeping on a poor mattress for hours every night, will lead to a state of physical exhaustion. A good mattress will allow for a higher rate of recovery and adaptation to the daily stressful stimuli that can occur.

So here’s what we are saying: Your mattress is most likely not 100% of the problem, but it could be a part of the problem. If you wake up with a stiffness that continually progresses, that’s a pretty good indication your mattress is contributing to your soreness and back pain. In any case, a mattress that promotes a healthy back starts with proper support.

We recommend taking a good look at what you are sleeping on and considering better support for your body while you sleep. Most mattress providers will be able to point you in the right direction for your body type and specific needs.

But come see us at  Chattanooga Integrated Medicine Center so we can start alleviating any existing back pain you might be experiencing and then, be sure your mattress supports you better when you get home.
