I couldn't say if ruptured disks are caused by scoliosis, or related, My ruptured disk was caused by one of those "freak" accidents - bending the wrong way. My surgeon does not believe in wielding the knife, unless the last resort; so, he had me on meds, unfortunately steroids included, to help heal the disk. I also had to undergo a lot of physical therapy.
Good sleeping form is on your back, knees supported, to avoid stressing the spine. I use a viscose (memory foam) pillow under my head. I've been wanting to replace my "traditional" spring mattress with a memory foam mattress, recommended because it provides better support and cushion for the spine.
Sleeping on your side can cause a multitude of back, shoulder, neck and hip problems. I tend to turn on my side, but support my body and knees with a pillow behind my back and hug another to support my knees.
