"A question that I don't often get at the office, but I think I should, would be "Why is it bad to sleep on my stomach?".

We recommend people do not sleep on their stomach for a couple different reasons.

First, when we sleep on our stomach, to be able to breathe properly, we have to lie down with our heads to the side. When our head is turned to the side, with the weight of the head pushing down on that side, it puts a lot of stress and pressure on the neck. A lot of people need to sleep on their stomach because their bodies are misaligned, and stuck in the position already. After a person would get their adjustment, and proper balance would be established, and if we were to put ourselves into the improper position of sleeping on our stomachs, the adjustment could/would be compromised.

Second, Dentists don't like it when people sleep on their stomachs, because the same pressure affecting the alignment of our body, puts a lot of pressure on a person's TMJ (Temporo-Mandibular Joint).

Third, sleeping on your stomach also makes your back sag forward. That puts stress and pressure on the facet joints in your lower back, causing inflammation in the joints. This will also cause muscle spasm to happen in the low back from the body trying to pull the curve of the back into the right position.

Proper sleeping positions would be on your side with a pillow giving you the proper support keeping your head and neck aligned, or on your back. Those positions are perfectly fine to sleep in, but please stay off your stomachs."
