• Answer:

  since the cause of the problem is in the upper neck, not supporting your head and neck when on your side will aggravate the problem. lying on the back may also aggravate the problem, even if supported but for two different reasons. first, lying on the back will sometimes maximize the cord pressure from your upper neck subluxation. this is why some chiropractors routinely have the patient rest on their back a short while before checking them as it tends to bring out evidence of nerve interference. second and related to the first, most low back pain involves primarily psoas muscle weakness, due to nerve interference. the psoas muscles support the low back curve, and when lying on the back on a flat surface where there is little support in the low back, it will often begin to ache when one or both of these muscles are weak. correct the cause. see an hio method chiropractor.
