Spinal stenosis ails those who are already aging. And other than the proper medical advice one should receive when experiencing this, there are other things you can do to help make yourself comfortable, that is according to Ivillage’s Health Section. Your choice of mattress is one factor.
Good posture and ergonomics can relieve the pressure on the back. When standing, maintain the pelvis in a neutral position. When lifting heavy objects, bend at the knees and hips and keep the back straight. Hold objects close to the body while carrying them.
When sitting, choose a seat with good lower back support, arm rests and a swivel base. A rolled-up towel or pillow in the small of the back can help maintain the spine’s normal curve. Keep knees and hips level. Also, sleep on a medium-firm mattress. Recent studies indicate that sleeping on such a mattress is better for the back than sleeping on a firm mattress. Pillows can also offer good support, but only if they do not force the neck up at a severe angle.
