It is common for scoliosis patients to ask if there is a specific sleep position based on the curvature that can help reduce their scoliosis or improve their sleep.
Sleep is essential for all types of patients, especially for scoliosis patients. Good sleep means the body can heal and be more receptive to treatment since it has more healing energy to assist it in recovering from its ailment.
The best position for scoliosis patients to sleep is one that helps maintain a healthy spinal alignment. The spine should be straight from the front and maintain its natural curvature from the side without severe pressure points.
The best position to sleep in is on your back, with support for your neck and lower back if necessary. Avoiding a forward-head posture and inclination. When sleeping on your side, use a pillow big enough for your shoulder with enough support to keep your neck in a neutral position.
The least recommended way to sleep with or without scoliosis is on your stomach because it doesn't allow you to sleep in a neutral position. It creates an unnatural alignment that does not allow the most natural rotation of your neck and shoulders. It also creates an abnormal arch on your back which is not recommended because it negatively impacts your spinal alignment.
Sleeping on your back has multiple benefits, like increasing normal spinal curvatures as it distributes your weight equally without creating tension. Since most scoliosis patients have asymmetrical pressure points, it may not be as comfortable for them to sleep on their backs, so they should use a slightly softer mattress to alleviate the pressure applied to the area while resting.
The best way overall for scoliosis patients to sleep is with their custom corrective scoliosis brace, as it's designed to push the spine and help reduce the curve while they sleep. As such, this is the only way that sleeping can help reduce scoliosis.
Healthy sleep habits while in scoliosis treatment are the only way to help reduce scoliosis while sleeping. These include using the right pillow size when sleeping sideways, proper support for sleeping on your back for your neck and lower back, and sleeping with the corrective brace to provide passive support and improve your scoliosis.
