Waking up with lower back pain?
Tips and solutions to help relieve the pain for a better night's sleep.
BACK pain while sleeping: a vicious cycle
If you suffer from back pain at night, you know it can cause restless sleep. But did you know? Poor quality sleep increases sensitivity to pain, which makes it even harder to get the Zzzs you need to feel your best.
What causes lower back pain?
Too much sitting, core muscles that are weak or too tight, your workout or even a heavy purse can all put strain on your lower back. Check with your doctor to rule out damage to your spine or other health issues.
