What Is The Treatment For Spine Curvature Disorders?

Hi doctor. Whenever I wake up in the mornings or the middle of the night, it feels like my lower spine has curved too much inward toward my stomach. No sleeping position helps and I lose a lot of sleep because of this. What could be the cause and what can I do?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is important to know that the spine support is a strong one and the curvature does not happen all of a sudden. It is possible that due to your gait and few conditions causing stiffness in the spine might be responsible for your condition. There is a condition called ankylosing spondylosis and this causes a thickening of membrane supporting the spine and often presents with occasional spine stiffening. Since your age is not mentioned, the exact conditions relating to your symptoms might differ. It is important that you consult an orthopedic surgeon and get clinically examined. A x ray is required to see if your condition has anything to do with the spinal column and supporting structures.
