What is the ideal sleeping posture for scoliosis?
There is no single ideal sleeping position for scoliosis (curvature of the spine).
For one thing, there are many types of scoliosis: it may vary by location in the spine, severity, cause, and duration. And it can vary in what symptoms it causes. Therefore, it is not surprising that a position that is comfortable for one person may be the worst position for someone else.
In addition, we all move when we sleep, so even if a particular position seemed best for an individual, it’s unlikely they would maintain that position throughout the night.
In most cases, the best positions for sleep are discovered by trying different positions to determine which is most comfortable..
