Sleep disorders in people with neck arthritis are common. In fact, sleep disturbance affects up to 10.2 million U.S. 2011 study by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. I spoke with two New York City physical therapists to find useful tips on sleeping with neck arthritis and was pleasantly surprised to find that at least one of these tips may even save you money. Hagit Rajter, a physical therapist at the Joint Mobility Center at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery, says that when you sleep, your head should be in line with your spine. She advises you to think of your head as an extension of your spine. This means you should neither excessively bend your head forward, nor extend it back. Tilting to either side is out, too. Rajter cautions against these movements because she says they may lead to cervical radiculopathy and/or a pinched nerve. Symptoms may include pain down one or both arms, weakness, numbness, or tingling.
