instruction: hello doctor does cervical neck lordosis affect the quality of sleep this week I have not enough sleep at night or even day and my arms are in pain I cannot understand because sometimes my nose are clogged at the right sometimes at the left and my neck hurts when I do my exercise as recommended by my chiropractor I had my three adjustments last month which supposedly should be 36 it stopped due to the couid pandemic and now I am at home but I cannot sleep well it feels like my body is not straight by the way my pelvis is tilted to the right and also my spine but just a little bit can I ask some help or tips from you with regard to what can I do to at least ease the pain or sleep way better or a few stretches to at least help my body to slowly reposition to normal
output: hello I read your concern yes the position of cervical lordosis will affect your sleep if it is not properly supported the tightness and pain could be due to irritated neck muscles so support them ice them up so that spasm gets reduced and neck feels better as of now I recommend you to maintain good posture and support your neck properly in everything you do like sitting and sleeping avoid postures that might aggravate the issue like texting a lot watching movies in an upward position etc do not do exercises while in pain do icing and relax support will help you come out of the issue faster first sleep properly and things will automatically fall in place keep hydrating properly back and other issues could be due to faulty postures and irritable muscles they will reduce once you do the above mentioned things I hope this helps
