Correct sleeping posture and nursing measures for sacroiliac pain

Sacroiliac pain is the main symptom of sacroiliitis. The pain is mainly in the thigh and rarely extends to the lower limbs. Clinically, male patients are the main patients, which has a great impact on everyone's normal life and study. Friends who suffer from sacroiliac pain can not only take medicine on time but also do some physical therapy programs. At the same time, daily care is also particularly important. It is recommended that patients sleep on a hard bed, which can reduce the load on the spine and at the same time get a certain correction to the sacroiliac joint.

The following are some of the care measures for sacroiliitis :

1. Psychological care: patients should have a correct understanding of the disease, receive treatment and exercise according to the doctor's requirements, and master self-care methods. Patients must face their condition squarely, and their families should give them enough understanding and support. Patients need to actively adjust their mentality and cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan so that they can get rid of the troubles of sacroiliitis as soon as possible.

2. You can engage in appropriate activities, such as flexion and extension exercises of the spine and hip joints twice a day. The amount of activity each time should be limited to a level that does not aggravate joint symptoms the next day, so as to improve blood circulation. Patients with sacroiliitis still need to maintain sufficient exercise to keep the body's metabolism functioning normally and allow patients to maintain physical vitality.

3. The patient should sleep with a low pillow and a hard bed. Usually, you should pay attention to reducing the load on your spine and avoid activities that require you to bend over for long periods of time. Obese people should lose weight. Patients should not sleep with pillows or bed boards that are too soft, as this will prevent their sacroiliitis from being corrected normally.

4. The diet should be nutritious and easy to digest. Pay attention to the intake of protein and vitamins. Eat more meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits, etc. Only by supplementing patients with sufficient nutritional energy can their condition be better recovered.

The above is an introduction to the nursing measures for sacroiliitis. I believe that through the above introduction, everyone has some understanding of the care of patients with sacroiliitis. The patient's family members should still care for the patients in daily life and help the patients get rid of the disease as soon as possible.
