From birth to death, eight hours a day, the basic support for the relaxation of the cervical spine. Pillow this thing seems very small, in fact, the quality of sleep and cervical spine health, so pay close attention to it. High pillow may not be worry about the height of the pillow, the issue is no absolute value, in short, it varies from person to person, to the degree of comfort, pad in the cervical vertebrae underneath to be able to hold up the curvature of the cervical spine, which is what we call the back of the head. For hunchbacked people, because the thoracic spine curvature is too large, lying flat will increase the distance between the head and the bed, the pillow can be adjusted appropriately high; for most people, because the daytime look at the phone, computer more, low head time, the pillow should be low some. The cervical pillow is a pitfall When it comes to pillows, the most common problem I encounter in the clinic is: I purposely bought a cervical pillow in the end is good? This how to say na, I think it is not a good thing. The so-called cervical pillow, there are two curvature, a large and a small, the concept of product design is like a high pillow sleep large curvature, like a low pillow sleep small curvature. But you have not considered, everyone’s curvature is different, definitely not high and low two curvature will be able to solve all the cervical spine problems, to give a simple example, Yao Ming and Guo Jingming two people, cervical curvature is certainly not the same, the requirements of the pillow is certainly not the same. Combined with the clinic, I did meet a lot of patients to me that the cervical pillow used after the neck and shoulder pain is getting worse, no patient has told me to use the cervical pillow after the cervical spine disease well. There was a patient, serious cervical spondylosis, after a phase of my careful treatment, there is a significant improvement, one night on a whim to use the cervical pillow, the next day back to the original state, miserable ah! So this product I gave a negative. So what pillow is good to use? To give you a suggestion, rest time (not sleep), they use a large towel or bath towel roll a roll, while rolling in their cervical spine to try, their own pillow comfortable height, lie on the rest, to relieve cervical fatigue is very good; as for sleeping with the pillow, it is recommended that some soft (velvet or down-filled) flat pillow, or buckwheat bark and the like is also possible, remember a principle: Rather a little lower, not a little higher. Others ask, I sleep without a pillow, okay? When lying flat, if you do not use a pillow cervical spine is a suspended state, and if the side, the whole head is suspended, so do not advocate, occasionally for the still can. On this side to remind everyone a little, cervical spine if there is obvious pain or stiffness symptoms, the first thing to consider is treatment, rather than through the pillow relief.
