The dangers of sleeping with a lumbar support

Sleeping with a lumbar pad generally does not cause any harm. It has certain benefits. It can play a certain role in health care and protection of the waist. A more common method is to put a soft pillow under the waist. We know that the human waist has a certain curvature. Putting the pillow under the waist can maintain the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine. It is good in relieving fatigue and preventing lumbar diseases.

The benefits of sleeping with a lumbar support

The important role of the waist in the human body is well known, so waist health is particularly important. The simplest way to protect your waist is to put a soft pillow under your waist when sleeping. Because the human waist has a certain curvature, putting a soft pillow under the waist when people sleep can help maintain the normal physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, thereby putting the lumbar muscles in a relaxed state, which helps to relieve fatigue caused by daytime work and life.

At the same time, it can also effectively improve the blood circulation in the waist, which is beneficial to the repair of lumbar muscle strain, enhance the extension strength of the back muscles, thereby enhancing the stability of the lumbar spine, and can well reduce or even eliminate the discomfort symptoms of the waist.

Many people suffer from long-term sore waist muscles due to heavy physical labor when they were young, or because of their long-term bad habit of walking with a hunched back. As a result, they do not pay attention to health care, so these minor illnesses in the body gradually become chronic diseases that are difficult to cure, which trouble people's work and life.

However, these people may rarely think that putting a soft pillow under the waist when sleeping can effectively relieve the discomfort of the waist. Nowadays, people are pursuing a comfortable and easy life. Therefore, more and more people choose comfortable soft beds when choosing beds. However, a hard bed is actually the healthiest choice for people, especially for patients with low back pain. Sleeping on a hard bed with a soft pillow under the waist is the most economical and best treatment method. Long-term persistence can effectively relieve low back pain symptoms and keep our waist in a healthy state every day.

As people age, their lumbar spine function often degenerates, leading to symptoms such as lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, and low back and leg pain. After a day of sitting and standing, if the elderly still cannot let their waist get rest when sleeping at night, their waist condition will become more serious.

How can you give your waist an effective rest? Doctor Zhang said that you need to sleep on a bed with a certain hardness.

When suffering from lumbar disease, resting in bed, especially on a hard bed, can eliminate the pressure of weight and body weight on the intervertebral disc, which is conducive to relieving symptoms.

For patients with aging lumbar discs, sleeping on a hard bed makes more sense: 80% of patients can significantly relieve symptoms through non-surgical treatment; if you sleep on a bed that is too soft, the pressure of the body's weight will cause the bed to be low in the middle and high around, which will affect the normal physiological flexion of the lumbar spine, causing contraction, tension and spasm of the waist muscles and ligaments, aggravating the symptoms.
