Introduction
Do you wake up feeling stiff, tight, or already in pain before your day even begins? Many people in Pleasant Grove assume morning soreness is just part of getting older or sleeping wrong. In reality, persistent morning stiffness is often a sign that the spine, joints, or muscles are not functioning as well as they should.

At The Chiro in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Dr. Bruce R. Lowry helps patients uncover why their body feels worse in the morning and provides gentle chiropractic care designed to restore comfortable movement.

Why Morning Stiffness Happens

During sleep, your body is supposed to recover and reset. However, if joints are restricted or the spine is misaligned, tissues can become tight and inflamed overnight. This often leads to symptoms such as:

• Lower back stiffness when getting out of bed

• Neck tightness in the morning

• Difficulty standing up straight right away

• Achy hips or shoulders after sleeping

• Reduced flexibility early in the day

While an occasional stiff morning can happen to anyone, ongoing symptoms usually point to an underlying mechanical issue.

The Role of Spinal Alignment

Your spine supports your body for roughly one-third of your life while you sleep. If the joints of the spine are not moving properly, surrounding muscles can tighten to compensate. Overnight, this tension builds, which is why many people feel their worst first thing in the morning.

Poor posture during the day, old injuries, prolonged sitting, and repetitive strain can all contribute to this pattern.

How Chiropractic Care Helps

Dr. Lowry focuses on restoring proper joint motion and reducing irritation in the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments help the body move more freely and reduce the tension that builds overnight. Care may help:

• Improve spinal mobility

• Reduce muscle tightness

• Improve sleep comfort

• Decrease morning pain and stiffness

• Support better posture throughout the day

Many patients report that mornings become noticeably easier once proper alignment is restored.

Simple Tips to Reduce Morning Stiffness

In addition to chiropractic care, small daily habits can make a meaningful difference:

• Avoid falling asleep on the stomach

• Use a supportive pillow that keeps the neck neutral

• Stretch gently for a few minutes after waking

• Take short movement breaks during the day if you sit often

• Stay consistent with spinal care and posture awareness

These steps work best when combined with professional evaluation and treatment.
