Leg Pillow Reduces Pressure On The Back While Sleeping

While we have discussed some methods of how to sleep with a pinched nerve in the neck in cervical radiculopathy and the neck pain pillow, we need to address relieving pain on the lower back with a leg pillow.

Often involved with conditions like a disc herniation or sciatica is problems sleeping. While remaining on your back, a pillow under the knees can help relieve pressure, however, many prefer the side sleeping position. The problem is how to reduce bending and torsional stress on the lower back when side sleeping. One great solution is a leg pillow.

A pillow specifically designed to be used between the legs helps reduce the stress on the lower back when side sleeping. Much like a functional pillow for the neck helps reduce pressure, a pillow for the legs can help keep the back and pelvis in a neutral posture when side sleeping. As your hips attach to the pelvis, this can benefit the hips as well, along with the rest of the kinetic chain including the knees and even ankles.

This is very important to reduce symptoms and get the best night’s sleep possible. It is great to use in conjunction with a functional pillow to help keep the entire spine in a neutral position. This helps reduce pressure on nerves, ligaments and muscles.

With conditions like degenerative disc disease, it is important to keep inflammation and further damage to a minimum and a well designed leg pillow can really help. Compact in design, these pillows are easy to use and maneuver when changing positions.

While this function can be performed by a good body pillow, they can often be bulky and difficult to maneuver. I personally use a body pillow because of shoulder problems and having the support extended to shoulder height is beneficial to rest my shoulder and avoid torsional stress on my shoulder as well as the lower back.

The body pillow is quite a bit more work to change positions, but is something I deal with to help reduce shoulder pain while sleeping. I am not talking about muscular shoulder pain, but specific shoulder problems with the joint and rotator cuff.

The leg pillow is inexpensive, ergonomic and a great way to keep the lumbo-pelvic region in the best position possible. This region is important as the relationship between the lumbar spine and pelvis is a major concern with painful conditions of many types. But, you don’t have to have pain to see benefits from the pillow; keeping your spine in a neutral position when side sleeping, which is the position most preferred by individuals, benefits spinal health in general and can help with prevention.
