Episode 43: What Are The Best Sleep Positions For Scoliosis?
Subscribe:
We know sleep is important but it is even more, especially to patients that are actually going through scoliosis treatment because we know good sleep typically means that the body can heal better and respond better. We also know a good rested body means the body has more healing power to help recover and heal from whatever they're dealing with, and obviously, with scoliosis, we know that they're going through treatment to try and overcome the curvature size and actually reduce these curves.
What is the best position to sleep in if you have scoliosis?
Because the goal of sleep is to maintain a healthy spinal alignment, the best position by far for patients to sleep in, regardless of whether you have scoliosis or not, is normally sleeping on your back with very slight support for your neck and slight support for the lower back if they're needed. We're trying to maintain this normal healthy spinal alignment without severe pressure points so you can rest comfortably and sleep well.
