What sleeping position should be used for spinal compression fractures

Spinal compression fracture is a relatively stable fracture, which can be treated conservatively in the clinic. Pillows can be given to the lower back, and patients can sleep on their backs, while five-point support or three-point support can be given to the lower back muscles during the period of lying in bed, to promote the recovery of the fracture pattern and prevent the occurrence of lower back pain in the later stage of the disease. For patients who choose surgery, patients can be given prone, lateral and supine sleep before surgery, but when changing positions, pay attention to the flat turn over, so as to avoid aggravation of symptoms or nerve damage. Patients are free to sleep in the position of their choice after surgery.
