The best position to sleep with back pain

The best position to sleep with low back pain is supine and lateral position, as follows: 1. Supine position: sleep can ensure the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, can make the lumbar muscles fully relaxed, and to avoid twisting of the lumbar spine, which can relieve the clinical symptoms of lumbar pain. 2. Lateral position: if sleep can ensure that the head and neck are perpendicular to the shoulder joint, it can also relieve the pressure on the low back and reduce pain symptoms. Patients need to hold soft pillows between their knees when sleeping in the side lying position to avoid crossing their legs and producing twisting movements of the lumbar spine. Therefore, the best position for patients with lumbar pain to sleep is to alternate between supine and lateral positions, which can protect the lumbar region and also avoid continuous pressure on the lumbar muscles and improve local blood circulation.
