In today’s society, the popularity of cell phones, computers and other electronic devices has not only brought about the convenience of life, but also the youthfulness and prevalence of cervical spondylosis. Most people go to the hospital, there are many doctors will tell them to sleep with a low pillow or no pillow, but which one is better for the cervical spine? There are many types of cervical spondylosis, so I won’t describe them all here. But most cervical spondylosis has a “physiological curvature straightening”, or even a reverse arch. The first problem in this case is that the muscles in the neck and shoulders are tense, sore, and even feel stiff, which then causes poor sleep and affects work and life. So in the treatment of cervical spondylosis at the same time, we must find ways to adjust the curvature of the cervical spine. This time it is important to choose a suitable pillow. A, determine the right height and softness In addition to pay attention to the internal filling of the cervical spondylosis pillow with different characteristics, the most important thing is to determine the most suitable for their own body the actual situation of the height and hardness of the cervical spondylosis pillow. Sleep habits also have a subtle impact on the height of the whiplash pillow and should be taken into account. For normal people, the height and hardness of the cervical spine pillow is related to each person’s fat and thin, shoulder width, neck length, in order to be comfortable. Second, the high pillow is not worry-free normal people sleep too high cervical spine pillow, whether supine or side lying, will make the cervical spine physiological arc change, over time, the neck muscles will occur strain, spasm, accelerate the deformation of the intervertebral joints, and promote the formation of bone spurs, resulting in cervical instability and other problems. In addition, the high pillow will increase the angle between the neck and chest, so that tracheal ventilation is obstructed, easily leading to dry throat, sore throat and snoring. Cervical spondylosis pillow too high If you exclude the disease factors, neck pain, headache, dizziness, tinnitus and insomnia and other brain neurasthenia, or sleep to half feel numbness in the arms and legs, it is likely that your cervical spondylosis pillow is too high. Third, low pillow, no pillow is not able to comfortable normal people long-term sleep low pillow or no pillow, the same will change the cervical spine physiological state. Because the veins of the head without valves, gravity will slow down the venous reflux in the brain, the relative increase in arterial blood supply, resulting in head up, irritability, insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms. Cervical spondylosis pillow is too low or no pillow If you do not drink water before going to sleep, but wake up and find that your face is swollen this may be caused by cervical spondylosis causing slight congestion of blood in the head. The cervical spondylosis pillow is too low and the jaw will therefore lift upwards, making it easy to breathe with an open mouth and snoring. That cervical spondylosis patients sleep in the end is how high the pillow is better? Usually, the appropriate height of the cervical spondylosis pillow to 8-10 cm more appropriate (head pressed on the pillow height), but the specific size also depends on the physiological characteristics of each person, especially the physiological curvature of the neck. Shoulder wide body fat person pillow can be slightly higher, while the thin people can be slightly lower. Sleep habits for determining the height of the pillow also has an impact, people who are used to sleeping on their backs, the height of their cervical spine pillow should be compressed and their fist height (fist tiger mouth upward height for the fist high standard) is appropriate; and people who are used to sleeping on their sides, the height of their cervical spine pillow should be compressed and their side of the shoulder width height is the same as appropriate. Of course, regardless of supine sleep, side sleep can maintain the normal physiological curvature of the neck cervical spondylosis pillow is the most ideal.
