  1. Best Sleeping Positions to Reduce Hip and Knee Joint Pains

  2. Sleeping Positions for Knee Pain: • No matter how hectic and heavy our workday is, an adequate and peaceful good night sleep refreshes and rejuvenates us to take the next day head-on. But joint pains especially hip and knee pains can rob us of our good night sleep leaving us restless throughout the day. • The majority of the patients complain the same and consult for help with sleeping positions that can reduce the joint pain and give a good night’s sleep. So in this blog here, we wanted to list out the best sleeping positions for people suffering from knee and joint pain and here we go:

  3. Here are two simple sleeping positions that can help: • Knee arthritis is the most common form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, soreness, and inflammation in the knee negatively impacting the daily activities in the day and disrupt the sleep at night. If you are suffering from knee arthritis or even a simple knee injury then adopting a proper bed routine and choosing the right sleeping position can minimize knee pain effectively. Back Sleepers: • Place a shallow pillow to rest your neck and place the pillow/pillows under your knee or knees depending upon your comfort and pain levels. The best thing about this position is that you can place an icepack between the knee and pillow to relieve your pain while you sleep. Side Sleepers: • You can continue your side-lying position with one or two pillows placed between your knees with a normal pillow behind your neck. If sleeping with your knee extended for more than 8 hours is making you uncomfortable you can try out this side sleeping position.

  4. Best Sleeping Positions for Hip Pain: • Arthritis, nerves, soft-tissue issues, bursitis; whatever may the causes the hip can make you sleepless and restless further increasing the incidence of the medical condition without the scope of recovery. So here are a few simple tips with respect to the sleeping position to help you relieve pain: Back Sleepers • The tight hip flexors and quads pull your back into a sudden arch while sleeping further increasing the hip or back pain along the way. Using a pillow between the floor and the knees can improve your back posture and takes the stress off your hip and back reducing the hip pain. Side Sleepers • Sleeping on the unaffected side with a pillow between two bent knees is considered the best position to sleep to reduce hip pain for side sleepers.  You can alternate this position in sleep with sleeping on the back with legs spread.
