How to sleep with back pain

Low back pain sleep mainly to lie down, can also take the side position, but not too long, lying down when the body is almost not subject to gravity, the lumbar spine will not bear the pressure of the body, the muscles will not cause excessive stretching, pain will be obvious relief. Sleeping bed should not be too soft and not too hard, the bed is too hard can easily lead to friction or pressure on the soft tissues of the lumbar region, aggravating the pain of the lumbar region. A bed that is too hard can easily lead to straightening of the curvature of the lumbar vertebrae and thus pulling on the soft tissues, or a bed that is too hard to squeeze the soft tissues causing a significant increase in pain. Therefore, after sleeping on a hard bed, the patient’s pain is particularly obvious when getting up in the morning, and some people may have difficulty getting up. Then the bed is too soft and easy to cause the protruding parts of the body to easily sink, resulting in excessive stretching of the ligaments, fascia and muscles of the back, which will also lead to increased pain in the back. But when resting flat on your back, you must pay more attention to avoid excessive twisting of the body when turning over so as not to cause excessive stretching of the injured soft tissues, which can lead to increased pain.
