Being a good doctor I look for many causes for your low back pain. I have seen referral pain from digestive distress, muscle spasm causing pain, your “hot” low back or low back disc problems. But, one cause of low back pain that many providers either don’t know about or don’t know what to do with is low back pain from your thoughts and emotions or in other words caused by stress.
Each Chiropractor that you talk to will have a different reason for telling you what the best position to sleep in is. I developed this line of thinking in Chiropractic College by asking questions and observing why people do what they do.
I do not think that there is a perfect sleeping position that everyone should have. What I found is that your optimal sleeping position is one that provides your spine the support it needs. I have seen this for both the upper cervical spine and the low back.

According to a recent study featured in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, nearly one in four Chiropractic patients experience some form of improvement otherthan less back pain or fewer headaches.
Here are the most common improvements.

Two case histories of females age 32 and 38 suffering from CFS revealed significant improvements in stamina, increased energy and reduced symptoms.

FIFTY PERCENT OF CHRONIC HEADACHE, NECK AND BACK PAIN IS CAUSED BY DRUG OVERUSE
Vol. 8 Issue 112
Medication overuse has been assigned as the cause of at least 50% of all cases of chronic headaches.
One recent study published in Neurology showed that daily or near-daily use of analgesics is associated with chronic headaches and other chronic pain conditions.
Researchers designed the study to determine how many chronic headaches (such as migraines), are actually caused by the overuse of over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
