Back Pains and It's Remedy

For those experiencing lower back pain, sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees often helps align the spine and reduce pressure on the lower back. If you prefer sleeping on your back, placing a pillow under your knees can also support the natural curve of your spine and relieve tension.

For upper back or neck pain, it’s generally best to sleep on your back with a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck. Avoid using overly high pillows, which can strain the neck further. Side sleepers should also opt for a firm pillow that keeps the neck aligned with the rest of the spine.

According to experts at the Cleveland Clinic, stomach sleeping is typically the worst position for back pain as it strains the spine and neck. If you must sleep on your stomach, placing a pillow under your pelvis can help reduce some of the pressure on your back.

By adjusting your sleep posture, you may find considerable relief from back pain and wake up feeling more refreshed.
