What Sleep Position Should Be Chosen for Right-sided Scoliosis?

For scoliosis to the right, the right lateral position or supine position is generally recommended, and the specific comfortable sleeping position can be chosen according to one's actual condition. Scoliosis to the right is considered to be related to congenital developmental abnormalities, and it may also be caused by long-term poor posture. Patients with scoliosis may experience pain and limited mobility in the spinal area, and may also experience pain and weakness when sleeping.

Due to changes in the physiological curvature of the spine, it is advisable to choose the right lateral position or supine position to prevent further spinal deformity. Specialized devices can be worn while sleeping to prevent thoracic scoliosis, and attention should also be paid to the height of the pillow to avoid excessive height and reduce the incidence of cervical spondylosis.

If significant pain symptoms occur, analgesics can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, and paracetamol tablets, which can effectively relieve pain. If the degree of scoliosis to the right is severe and has already compressed surrounding organs, surgical treatment such as spinal orthopedics and arthrodesis can be performed to reduce damage to local tissues. Regular hospital follow-ups are needed to adjust treatment measures based on changes in one's physical condition.
