Chronic back pain and scoliosis can share similar symptoms. Still, the main difference is that scoliosis typically presents with a sideways curvature of the spine that can be seen on an x-ray.

Proven Methods for How to Sleep with Lower Back Pain:
Method 1: Sleep On Your Side With A Pillow Between Your Legs
One of the best ways to sleep with lower back pain is to sleep on your side with a pillow between your legs.
This position helps align your spine and takes the pressure off your lower back. You should choose a pillow that is firm but not too thick or firm which may cause additional strain.
It’s essential to have the right pillow so that your spine remains neutral, and it reduces the chances of causing damage to your neck.
Method 2: Avoid Sleeping On Your Stomach
Sleeping on your stomach can cause severe strain on your lower back, neck, and shoulders, leading to muscle tension and pain. This position can cause your spine to arch, which can put pressure on your lower back.

Method 3: Invest In A Good Mattress and Pillow
Having a good quality mattress and pillow is crucial when you suffer from lower back pain. It is very important to invest in a pillow that supports your neck while you sleep and keeps your spine aligned.
Also, a supportive mattress can help take pressure off your joints and improve your sleep quality. Doing research and investing in a good quality mattress and pillow can go a long way in improving your lower back pain, speak to a physical therapist to discuss what pillow would work best for you.
