Does sleeping wrong cause low back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: Yes, sleeping in certain positions can potentially lead to back pain. For example, patients with arthritic changes in the facet joints in their back will often have aggravation of their pain by extension of the back, which can be associated with “stomach sleeping”. Good question.
