Pain That Improves with Reclining

Improvement of Pain Only When Reclining

Lower back pain when lying down can be caused by a number of things. Many times you will experience back pain that will only get better when you recline or elevate your feet by taking the pressure off the back. However, if you can’t get relief from changes to your sleep environment, or if the pain occurs only at night, it may be a sign of something more serious, like arthritis or degenerative disk disease. This could signify that you have an underlying condition that needs attention from a back specialist, doctor, or surgeon.

  • Muscle Strain
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Sciatica
  • Herniated Disc
  • Spinal Stenosis

If you experience pain that is only relieved with reclining position, then the best treatment is to rest the back muscles. However, if back pain begins to interrupt your sleep patterns or normal activites, it is suggested that you speak to a professional. Some treatments to try are:

  • Change sleeping position
  • Elevate legs while sleeping
  • Applying heating pads

You can reduce the chances that you experience lower back pain by making some changes such as getting regular exercise, avoid prolonged sitting, maintain proper posture, be mindful of bending and twisting.
