What bed is better for patients with sciatica

Sciatica is a type of orthopedic clinical disorder with a high incidence. The main cause of sciatica is a herniated lumbar disc, the degenerated nucleus pulposus, the ruptured annulus fibrosus and the release of some inflammatory substances that irritate the nerve roots, resulting in sciatica pain. In the acute stage, absolute bed rest is recommended for patients, and a hard bed is a better option. In addition to sleeping on a hard bed, it is recommended to put a soft pillow of suitable height on the lumbar area and a soft quilt or cushion of suitable height on the knee joint, which can maintain mild flexion of the knee joint and reduce the tension of the sciatic nerve pull, so as to maintain the physiological anterior arch of the lumbar area and avoid further protrusion of the disc and compression of the sciatic nerve, which is beneficial for the recovery of the patient’s symptoms and for reducing the edema of the nerve root. The purpose of this is to maintain the physiological anterior arch of the lumbar region, avoid further protrusion of the disc and compression of the sciatic nerve.
