If you wake up with pain in the morning, then there are a few things you need to look at to find the cause of the problem.  Your sleeping position, your mattress, and your jaw are the primary causes of pain first thing in the morning.  Your mattress might not be supporting your back, and your pillow might not be supporting your neck properly.  Sleeping on your stomach is the worst position you can sleep in, and if you grind and clench your teeth at night, this can cause severe pain.  These are some of the basic problems I have found that can cause you to wake up with pain.  If your problems are more complicated, consult your chiropractor or medical doctor.

You should detoxify toxins from your body every 6 months.  Our bodies get toxic from the food we eat and drink, from chemicals in our environment, and sometimes our bodies produce toxins.  My detox of choice is called Ultraclear plus made by Metagenics.  It is a medical food.  I use it as a meal replacement.  It is a powder I mix with 8 oz of apple juice.  I take 3 shakes a day and only drink water until 2 hours after the last shake.  Then I eat a healthy meal of vegetables, fruit, white rice, and/or chicken.  I do this for 7 days straight.  If you can't commit to 7 days, then use the shake as breakfast for 21 days.

I like to keep my vitamin regimen simple.  I take high quality multivitamins, high quality fish oil, and a high quality vitamin D.  I use the brand Metagenics.  They are a very high quality supplement.  I take 3 multi's, 1 fish oil, and 1 vitamin D with breakfast, and I take 3 multi's and 1 fish oil with lunch.  I like to keep it simple.

Meditation is a great way to decrease your stress and center your energy.  It is a great way to look inside of you to see within.  I tell my patients to do a 5-10 minute breathing meditation before bed.  Turn off the lights, close your eyes, and breathe.  Begin by focusing on your breath and open yourself up to whatever comes to you.  If you are experiencing pain, concentrate on the pain, and visualize the pain leaving your body in a puff of blackness.  Visualize light energy coming into light every part of your being with every breath in, and with every breath out, the pain and tension and anxiety leaves your body like a black cloud moving up and out into the universe away from you.
