Advice

Poor sleeping posture can worsen back pain. The goal is to keep the spine in a neutral, aligned position throughout the night.

Best Sleeping Positions for Back Pain

On Your Side (Fetal Position) – Bend your knees and place a pillow between them to keep your hips aligned.

On Your Back – Use a pillow under your knees to support the natural curve of your spine.

Avoid Sleeping on Your Stomach – This can overextend your back and strain your neck.

Tips for Better Sleep

• Use a firm mattress or a mattress topper for better support.
• Try a body pillow for added comfort and alignment.
• Consider a heating pad for 15–20 minutes before bed to reduce stiffness.
• Prioritize spinal alignment and use supportive pillows to reduce strain on your lower back while you sleep.
