Parker University/Parker Seminars - Las Vegas
Advancing the Clinical Chiropractor - January 14- 16, 2016.
SOT, CMRT, and Cranial Techniques need to be present at all chiropractic research conferences. If you have any interest in attending the Parker Seminar in Las Vegas and would like help to submit SOT related research please do not hesitate to contact me. I will help you with your write up and submission to help make sure it is in the proper format for the conference.
The January 2016 Parker Experience will introduce a scientific exposition that offers an additional opportunity to share the wonderful scientific work done in our profession and educational institutions with thousands of clinicians and leaders who might not otherwise be reached through other scientific and educational conferences. Submissions should be original empirical scientific research in any area (basic, translational and clinical sciences, education, health service research, etc.) that advances the chiropractic profession. This may include the author's recently presented or published work. The abstract is limited to 250 words (with no appendices: figures or tables) and structured with sections on purpose, methods, results, discussion/conclusion.
The deadline for submission is November 1, 2015.

Sleeping Ergonomics
What is the best position for sleeping?
This article is one I have shared with patients for years and discusses how to find a position of comfort for patients with back pain. Click here
But, is there research that suggests an optimal position for sleeping?
Some think the best position is on your back with your body in a straight line but in one study it was fascinating that "Consistently, poor sleepers spent more time on their backs with their heads straight."
Another study found that a "change from the supine [back] to the lateral [side] body position increased the stability of the upper airways considerably."
Still another study attempted to determine optimal sleeping positions by measuring brain glymphatic (CSF-Interstitial Fluid) exchange efficiency in rats and found that glymphatic transport was most efficient in the side position compared with the back or on the stomach positions.
What do we find epidemiologically or anthropologically regarding sleep position?
In an epidemiological study they found that the majority of subjects sleep in the side lying position and that this sleep position significantly protected against waking neck, shoulder blade, and arm pain and significantly promoted high sleep quality ratings. Surprisingly while sleeping on the back has been recommended for the prevention of neck symptoms this study couldn't find any advantage to sleeping on your back.
A fascinating anthropological study also found that a most common position for sleeping "humans in the wild" is on the side "without a pillow." Interestingly "Forest dwellers and nomads suffer fewer musculoskeletal lesions than 'civilised' people."
So from what I have garnered from some search of the literature, side sleeping offers benefits of improved sleep, airway, and glymphatic exchange (at least for our pet rats) as well as reduced neck, shoulder and arm pain. Even though sleeping straight on the back with a pillow under the neck may not be the best as previous thought, I still recommend for patients with head, neck or low back pain to sleep in whatever position is the most comfortable.
