What are the suitable pillows for cervical spine patients?

Natural latex pillow is the best, the ergonomic design principle of latex pillow, fits the curve of the human body, distributes the pressure of the human body according to the various parts of the human cervical vertebrae, achieves all-round support, corrects poor sleeping posture in sleep, and improves cervical spondylosis. Natural rubber is anti-mite and antibacterial, inhibits mites, and gives you a healthy and comfortable sleeping environment. ‍‍

I am an orthopedic surgeon, but also a patient with neck and shoulder pain, I have a history of neck pain that cannot be relieved for several months, first of all, cervical spondylosis does not need to use a special pillow **, patients with neck and shoulder pain need to find a suitable pillow that can relieve neck muscle pain, as for what type of pillow is suitable for you, you can only know if you try it yourself. It is necessary to use a pillow, and some people with neck and shoulder pain will not use a pillow to relieve the pain, but this is only effective for a short time and can worsen the symptoms for a long time. Long-term habit of sleeping on high pillows hurts the cervical spine, which can easily cause the physiological speed of the cervical spine to straighten.

For patients with cervical spondylosis, choose a pillow, don't choose too high, don't choose too short, choose your own suitable height, that is, put the pillow behind the neck when sleeping, just make the cervical spine in a natural stretch state, and even when lying on the side, the head will not be biased to the side.

Pillows will not cure cervical spondylosis, and no matter how good the pillow is, it will fall into the neck. The disease is not comfortable or uncomfortable, but only after the neck is cold, and people who fall into stiff neck will still have pain on the side of the neck during the day. The thyroid gland, thyroid cancer, and cervical spondylosis are all symptoms of tendon contraction, lumps, or tendons caused by cold.

With the Lu's automatic pillow that can automatically change the height with the sleeping position, the fatigue of the day will be fully rested at night, and most of the cervical spondylosis will be cured without treatment, and the hot day can still add a bamboo pillow skin does not affect the automatic lifting function of the good pillow, after the cold weather, there will be no low in the middle and high on both sides, the pillow will change the sleeping position to warm a cool pillow.

There are no specific criteria for the choice of pillows. High or low, soft or hard. Then the choice of pillow should be comfortable for the patient and have a certain elasticity.

Because the patient's own sensations are very important, when the pillow is uncomfortable, it means that certain muscles and muscle groups in the neck are in a state of tension and fatigue. The fact that the pillow can feel comfortable means that the patient's neck muscles are in a relaxed state. Therefore, when choosing a pillow, you can't choose what material or size, you have to give it a try.

The choice of pillow in general is not to sleep on high pillows and soft pillows, about a fist high! Recommended pillow material latex pillow, cervical pillow, buckwheat skin pillow can be

Personally, I feel that the previous traditional Chinese medicine pillows such as mung bean skin pillows and cassia seeds are very good. Able to constantly adjust the shape according to the sleeping position to fit the sleeping position. Very elastic.

It is an ordinary pillow, because the ordinary pillow has a certain height adjustment, that is, when sleeping, it is compressed a little, it will be a little higher, and it will be a little lower if it is looser. This kind of pillow, I highly recommend.

Nowadays, latex pillows are more popular, but the quality is uneven, and spending a lot of money to buy a bad latex pillow is not as comfortable as an ordinary pillow. A patient number around me is like this, and it costs hundreds of dollars to buy it back and I feel very uncomfortable within a few days.

Cervical spondylosis should be selected with a pillow with a certain supporting force, the hardness of the shirt with the open cavity to achieve a physiological curvature that can support the cervical spine, and the position of the head should be relatively low, with the position of the head 4-5cm lower than the neck. For patients who are accustomed to lying on their backs, it is more appropriate to lie flat at the height of their neck and the height of their own fist after lying flat. For patients who are accustomed to lying on their side, the height of the compressed pillow is the same as the width of the shoulder of the letter boy on one side is more comfortable.

The neck is relatively in a relatively relaxed position, which is conducive to the alleviation of cervical spondylosis.
