If you wake up each morning with aches and pains, it might be time to adjust your sleeping routine. Any number of factors can lead to pain, but when aches are regular, static, and caused from health factors, there's a good indication that you're suffering from arthritis … a condition that's uncomfortable, but also treatable. If not completely, certainly it can be reduced with proper treatment and bodily adjustments.

Don't fall victim to regular arthritis! Especially this October, which is also Arthritis Month. Take note and urge yourself to reduce regular aches simply by changing the way you sit, sleep, or even stand.

What Causes Arthritis?

Arthritis can be caused by a number of different issues. It can also be worsened with age, changes in weather, and repetitive movements, especially those that cause wear or tear to your joints. For instance, sitting at a desk that's not ergonomically designed, or performing a singular action for a long portion of the day.

It's also a good idea to talk with your doctor or another medical professional so you can be properly diagnosed. They will have professional insight on how you can switch up your routine, exercise in a way that will reduce pain, and more. You might even choose to visit a chiropractor or a physical therapist for preventative measures going forward.

How to Reduce Your Pains

Take a look at how you sit and sleep – are your bones properly aligned? Do your knees touch when sleeping on your side? Is your rear properly supported? All of these actions and more can lead to long term pain that can increase the longer they are in play. Though these actions might seem small on their own, when repeated day after day, they can take a toll on the body. Causing pain, muscles to overcorrect, and more.

Instead, look to supportive cushions, pillows that prop the legs or knees, and pillows that provide ideal neck alignment. With just a few nights of sleeping with your Contour products you can start to feel relief from these ongoing pains.
