Fallen pillow is also known as cervical subluxation, and there is no quick way to recover. If it is only a slight pillow fall, you can observe it temporarily; however, if the symptoms are serious and you can’t move normally, you can choose medication or physical therapy to relieve the symptoms.
1. Temporary observation: If it is only a slight pillow fall, the symptoms are not obvious, and can be normal activities, you can temporarily observe without special treatment. But during the period, we should protect the trauma, so as not to cause the second injury.
2. Drug therapy: you can take oral ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve symptoms, or combined with blood circulation pain spray for external use, to promote blood circulation in the neck and improve cervical spasm.
3. Physical therapy: mainly for the more serious pillow, you can use microwave physiotherapy or traction therapy to relieve symptoms.
When sleeping, it is recommended to choose a pillow of moderate height, so as not to be too high or too low to increase the burden on the cervical spine. If the symptoms are not relieved for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time, and targeted treatment under the guidance of a professional physician.
