Whether you normally sleep on your side, your stomach, or your back you need to try one of these THREE positions to finally get some rest without as much pain. Stop letting your lateral femoral cutaneous nerve pain ruin a good night's sleep! Towards the end of the video, I also give you FIVE additional tips to get comfortable at night when you're having nerve pain from Meralgia Paresthetica. There are so many things you can do for athome relief for Meralgia Paresthetica.

Sleeping with Meralgia Paresthetica can be miserable, I know because my patients tell me about it. The good news is that simple position changes and support can make a huge difference and get you relief from Meralgia Paresthetica at night. It's difficult to recover from this condition if your body isn't getting quality sleep. A lot of the healing process happens when you sleep, and everyone wants to rest well so they're not tired and unproductive during the day.

Remember, the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is only a sensory nerve. This means that if you're getting weakness in your hip or leg you may be suffering from another condition or have something else going on in addition to Meralgia Paresthetica. This is why I always recommend seeing a chiropractor in order to get examined and diagnosed correctly. Chiropractic for Meralgia Paresthetica can help you recover from this condition before it becomes something longterm that's harder to get rid of.

Surgery for Meralgia Paresthetica should be a last resort option. The good news is that data shows that 91% of cases will resolve with what's called conservative care. Conservative care, something chiropractors specialize in, includes corrective stretches and exercises for Meralgia Paresthetica. Additionally, soft tissue release, massage, and chiropractic adjustments (joint manipulation) can relieve pain and speed up your recovery.
