Pillow is not only needed for sleep comfort, but also a necessity for the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis, patients with cervical spondylosis should pay particular attention to the use of a good pillow. Under normal conditions, the human spine has four physiological curvature from the side to accommodate the internal organs and maintain the upright axis of the human body, from the bottom up for the sacral vertebra backward bend, lumbar vertebra forward bend, thoracic vertebra backward bend, cervical vertebra forward bend. Any disease that disrupts the physiological curvature will cause spinal disease. Most of the body’s muscles relax when sleeping, more than 6 hours of cervical spine support and shaping role will have a great impact on the state of the cervical spine. So the quality of the pillow will affect the shape and function of the human cervical spine. If the pillow is too high or too low, the physiological curvature of the neck is destroyed, joint deformation and muscle strain, sleep overnight, will feel the neck and shoulder discomfort such as soreness, pain, pillow and osteophytes is the early manifestation of cervical spondylosis. People often know that “high pillow”, whether the sleep to choose a higher pillow is more beneficial to the body? In fact, this is not the case. The pillow is too high, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine will change, so that the original state of the cervical spine convexity disappears, and even become backward arch, the cervical spinal canal content volume becomes smaller, easy to compress the spinal cord or intervertebral foramen issued by the spinal nerve in the spinal canal, the clinical symptoms of cervical spondylosis. Some people think that with cervical spondylosis, they do not sleep on pillows. But no pillow and sleep, so that the head backward, the same damage to the cervical spine physiological curvature, do not sleep on the pillow of cervical spondylosis patients may lead to aggravation of the disease. Therefore, the pillow should be the right height, and to soft and hard, with a certain degree of flexibility and warmth. For normal people, the height and softness of the pillow and each person’s fat and thin, the width of the shoulder, the length of the neck, to the degree of comfort, there is no uniform standard. Generally speaking, a single pillow to exceed the width of their shoulders 15cm is appropriate. Supine, the pillow is placed on the back of the neck, so that the neck is rounded, so as to maintain the normal forward convex physiological curvature of the cervical spine, so that the neck is fully rested; side lying, the pillow is placed on the side of the neck, so that the head is parallel to the bed, the cervical spine is in a neutral position, to maintain the balance of the neck. For patients with cervical spondylosis and cervical backbone, in addition to paying attention to the above principles, you can also choose a neck health pillow under the guidance of a doctor.
