What would be the best sleeping position for a teen with mild scoliosis starting to get pain in neck and back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neutral: Usually with the spine in a "neutral" position. One way to do this is to rest on the side with a pillow between the arms, another between the legs; with the knees and hips in a mildly flexed position.
