Sleep not only allows you to replenish the energy lost during the day, or the perfect time to repair the cervical spine, so the choice of pillow and mattress plays a key role in the condition of your cervical spine. 1, spinal orthopedics and not once and for all Use a correct pillow, use the time to sleep to restore the normal curve of the cervical spine, for the protection of the cervical spine to prevent cervical spondylosis is essential. Only at night to sleep on a mattress, pillow in line with the curve of their spine, in order to enable our spine to recover, can achieve a virtuous cycle. Someone has done a test in a hospital in Shanghai, two patients with insufficient blood supply to the brain with the right pillow after ten days, a patient of a vertebral artery all clear, the other patient cerebral blood flow increased by 14 percent. So the “sleep therapy method” has become a possibility. 2, with the “muscle energy method” to choose a pillow Currently on the market claiming to prevent cervical spondylosis pillows of various kinds, how to choose? At present, the medical effect of the product is considered better memory pillow. But memory pillows also have good and bad, poor memory pillow usually mixed with a large number of talc and foam or using very low density, and does not have the normal memory foam efficacy, only good memory pillow has a slow rebound material (memory foam) characteristics: can absorb body pressure, not compress the microvascular. The ideal memory pillow should be neither compression of the carotid artery and the cervical spine has some support, because the pillow should be pillow “neck”, not pillow “head”. American chiropractic has a kind of “muscle energy test method” of muscle force assessment method, in his experience, this seems to be used as a basis to choose a pillow is very effective. A simple experiment: lie on different models of pillows, and then lift your arms, test your arm strength, when your arm strength is the largest, that the memory pillow in line with your cervical curve, because at this time your cervical nerve is the most open, the most powerful arm, use this principle to treat cervical spondylosis can be half the battle. 3, mattress selection has learned In addition to the pillow, the choice of mattress is also beneficial to the repair of the spine. If the mattress does not meet the curve of the human spine, so that people do not sleep peacefully, constantly turning over, unable to enter deep sleep, fatigue during the day will not be able to eliminate. To determine whether a mattress is suitable for you, at least fifteen minutes lying flat on it, feel whether to lie down, or through the body comfort. If you can not reach these two points, you must consider carefully. Some manufacturers claim that they mattress material technology, so anyone can sleep on the highest level of sleep, which is very irresponsible to say! Not the higher the price of the mattress is better, only the right one for you, is the best. At present, many people’s understanding of sleeping position is also relatively one-sided, most people are mainly side sleep, textbooks also teach us to ‘sleep like a bow’. From the point of view of the human spine, lie flat to sleep on our back in order to let us sleep in the nervous system smooth. 2001, the Japanese Department of Health issued a report pointed out that lying flat on all organs is the best, lying flat is also the most beneficial to deep sleep. Lie flat on the spine repair is the most effective, so a suitable mattress, must be a mattress that allows you to keep lying flat position. So how to choose the right mattress? Method one, if you can lie flat on it quietly for ten minutes, and feel sleepy, is really suitable for your mattress (of course, provided that there is a suitable pillow for you), that is because a good mattress, pillow should be both in line with the human spine curve, but also to reduce the pressure on the human body. Method two, you can also use the “muscle energy test method” to test: lying on different models of mattresses, leg up flexion, test your leg strength, your leg strength is the largest when the mattress is in line with your spinal curve of the mattress, because at this time your spinal nerve is the most open, the most powerful leg, the mattress is suitable for you.
