How should people with a bad cervical spine choose the right pillow for themselves?

Only when the pillow is soft and does not lose a certain firmness, can the pressure between the pillow and the scalp be reduced, and the uneven pressure can be maintained, so that blood circulation can pass through the less stressful place.

The memory pillow has moderate hardness and good heat retention, which can prevent the shoulder and neck from getting cold for cervical spine patients with shoulder and neck soft tissue injury, and has a good relieving effect on the condition.

The material of buckwheat pillow is hard, and the supporting strength is very strong, for those patients with cervical spondylosis whose cervical physiological curve has become straight, buckwheat pillow can play a good auxiliary physiotherapy effect.

The material of the pillow is different, and the hardness is different. A good pillow for the cervical spine should be moderately soft and hard, with a certain amount of support to support the physiological curve of the cervical spine, and good heat retention to avoid cold in the neck.

People with high blood pressure, heart disease, and asthma are best to sleep on high pillows; People with low blood pressure and anemia need to sleep on low pillows. ‍‍

Patients with severe cervical spondylosis are better not to choose down pillows. Because the material of the down pillow is too light and soft, there will be no proper support strength to support the cervical spine when the pillow is up, which cannot play a good auxiliary physiotherapy role for cervical spine patients.

Doctors recommend that because each person has different cervical curvature and cervical degeneration. To the choice of pillow is to be carried out according to the individual.

The latex pillow has moderate hardness and softness, strong support, good heat retention, and has a good protective effect on the cervical spine, especially suitable for teenagers who are growing their bodies.

The pillow is too high or too short, will cause pressure and burden on the cervical spine, it is recommended that you refer to the "reasonable and suitable side pillow height and supine pillow height for adults in China" table to see how high the pillow is suitable for you. ‍‍

Cervical spondylosis is still relatively common in life, once cervical spondylosis is obtained, we need to pay attention to some of our lifestyles, and also pay attention to the choice of pillows, so let's introduce it to you.

First of all, we must know that once cervical spondylosis is obtained, then we can not use too hard pillows, it is best to choose softer pillows, but we can not choose cotton, sponge and other pillows sold on the market, these pillows will only aggravate the onset of cervical spondylosis, so the pillow made of buckwheat husk, chaff and other filling substances is the best for patients with cervical spondylosis, this material is not only very soft, but also has good air permeability, and has a good effect on patients with cervical spondylosis. The second is to pay attention to the height of the pillow, to know that the height of the child's pillow should be 6 9 cm, and the height of the pillow of patients with cervical spondylosis should be 8 15 cm, not too low nor too high, with this standard value, this height is the best for patients with cervical spondylosis, and at the same time, it can also make the cervical spine of patients with cervical spondylosis fit with the pillow, reducing the pressure of the cervical spine on the body. If the pillow is too high or too low, it will aggravate the patient's cervical spondylosis, and it will also lead to cervical spine bending.

It can be seen that once cervical spondylosis is obtained, then it is necessary to pay attention to the height of the pillow and the filling of the pillow, only the choice of such a pillow is better for patients with cervical spondylosis, and it can also speed up the alleviation of the condition of patients with cervical spondylosis. In addition, you should also pay attention to the shape of the pillow, you must know that the shape of the pillow is still more, there are soft and hard at the same time there are various animal types of patterns, for patients with cervical spondylosis, do not choose those bells and whistles, try to choose a lower middle, higher at both ends of the ingot-shaped pillow.

The ingot-type pillow not only has a relatively small load on the cervical spine, but also can fix the cervical spine of patients with cervical spondylosis, and the patients with cervical spondylosis in the province continue to shake the cervical spine when sleeping at night, thus causing sprains and injuries to the cervical spine.

You should choose a pillow with a height of about 7 8 cm, which can make the neck and pillow stick to each other, and there is no place to hang, which can relieve neck pain and other problems.

You can choose a latex pillow, which is softer and can also help sleep well, which is more suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis.

Choose a pillow with a higher height, a pillow height of 8 15 cm is the most suitable, which can make our cervical spine a little better.

We spend at least 1 3 hours a day in sleep, only with a good night's sleep, we can be more efficient whether we are working or school, so a suitable pillow is key. In order to protect the cervical spine and prevent various neck diseases, many people will choose to buy cervical pillows, so is the cervical pillow really useful? What skills should be mastered in the purchase of cervical pillows?

Let's take a look at the cervical pillow with Rilong to understand whether the lower cervical pillow is really useful?

Does cervical pillows really work.

1.It is different from our usual ordinary pillow, its design is designed according to the physiological curvature of our spine, through a special design, so that the cervical spine can restore normal lordosis and posterior flexion with slag, and then relieve the muscle spasm of the cervical spine, reduce the compression of the cervical degenerative intervertebral disc health pillow, not only can relieve neck diseases, but also can play a health care role in the cervical spine. In addition, there are also some cervical pillows that have the effect of slow-releasing drugs for external use, which are helpful for improving local blood circulation, relaxing muscles, and sleep quality.

2.When we are resting, if the pillow is not suitable, the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine will be changed, and the neck muscles will stretch and become tense, and it will be easy to have cervical muscle strain, accelerated degenerative changes of the cervical spine, chronic injury, and induce or aggravate cervical spondylosis.

How to choose a good cervical pillow.

1.We can look at its density, which can also be seen in its formulation, process and materials. Generally speaking, the density of polyurethane of domestic cervical pillows is generally less than 100d, while the cervical pillow produced abroad can reach 150d. Limb walking stockings.

2.Secondly, we can look at how resilient it is, and there may be many people who think that the longer it rebounds, the better its quality, but this is not true, it is a misunderstanding. The rebound time of a good quality cervical occipital should be about 3-5 seconds.

It's too short to have a slow rebound effect; Too long can make the body stiff. Therefore, we can press the cervical pillow and test the rebound time with a stopwatch when purchasing.

3.We can see how it feels, if it feels comfortable to the touch, pinched like kneading dough, it means that the quality is good, and the high-grade cervical pillow also has a good temperature sensing, which will become soft and hard with temperature changes, and you can see the handprint without putting pressure on your hand. The lower quality cervical pillow is a little hard, and the resilience is not good.

In life, some young people because their usual sitting posture is not quite correct, and they finally find that they have cervical spondylosis, and the harm of cervical spondylosis should not be underestimated, so it is better for everyone to accept cervical spondylosis as soon as possible after suffering from cervical spondylosis. In addition, patients with cervical spondylosis can also use some tips in their lives to help the cervical spine "reduce the burden", such as choosing the right pillow. So, what pillow is not good for cervical spine?

Cervical spine patients should pay attention to the following points when choosing a pillow:

1. Height: Too high or too low is not good.

It is not good for patients with cervical spondylosis to choose a pillow that is too high or too low, because too high or too low pillows do not have any benefits for their cervical spine, and the role of the pillow is mainly to maintain the normal physiological curve of the human body, and the physiological curvature of the neck is not deformed when we sleep at night. Therefore, patients with cervical spondylosis can choose a moderate height when choosing a pillow, and if you really don't know, you can consult a doctor to see what height is suitable for you.

2. Hardness: not soft or hard is the most suitable.

In addition to the height of the pillow, the hardness of the pillow must also be concerned, the hardness of the pillow must be moderate, if the pillow you use is too hard, the contact area with the head is too small, the pressure instantly increases a lot, and the patient's scalp will feel very uncomfortable;

On the contrary, if the pillow is soft, the neck is very easy to get tired, which is not good for everyone's sleep, and the head will sink in the middle, which directly affects blood circulation. Therefore, patients with cervical spondylosis should choose the kind that is neither soft nor hard when choosing a pillow.

3. Texture: The texture of the pillow is very important.

For patients with cervical spondylosis, the texture of the pillow is also an important factor that everyone needs to consider, and we need to take into account its texture when choosing the pillow core, and try to choose softness and good elasticity, air permeability, moisture resistance, moisture absorption, etc.

What pillow is not good for cervical spine? I hope that patients with cervical spondylosis can follow the above standards when choosing pillows for themselves, so that the cervical spine can slowly return to normal, so that there will not be so many harms, which is also the situation that everyone wants to see the most. Patients with severe cervical spondylosis also need to go to the hospital to see the doctor and actively cooperate**.

1.The high and low curvature is very particular, and the pillow is high or low, which is not good for cervical spondylosis. The height is right.

The appropriate height of the pillow is 6-10 cm, and the specific size depends on the physiological characteristics of each person, especially the physiological curvature of the neck. For those who are accustomed to sleeping on their backs, the height of the pillow should be equal to the height of their fists after compression (the height of the fist and the tiger's mouth upwards is the high standard of the fist); For those who are accustomed to sleeping on their side, the height of the pillow should be compressed to be the same as the width of the shoulder on one side of the body. If you have an attack of cervical spondylosis, do not choose a rice husk bran pillow or a slow rebound pillow, because the elasticity of these materials is unstable, which is easy to cause neck muscle fatigue and injury.

2.Moderately soft and hard cervical spondylosis pillow should choose a slightly softer, but not lose a certain hardness type, on the one hand, it can reduce the pressure between the cervical spondylosis pillow and the scalp, on the other hand, it maintains uneven pressure, so that blood can pass through the place with less pressure. The pillow for cervical spondylosis only needs to be slightly elastic, and excessive elasticity will cause fatigue and damage to the neck muscles.

3.Commonly used pillow fillings are: Buckwheat husks:

It is inexpensive, breathable, and can adjust the height of the pillow at any time. Fluff: soft texture, good air permeability, can be adjusted at any time.

Mung bean shell: Not only is it breathable, but it is also cool and relieves the heat, and it is even better if you add the right amount of tea or mint. For cervical spondylosis in China, the ideal pillow core with a protective effect on cervical spondylosis should be a hot compression sponge pillow core, which is a special pillow core with specific functions, which is generally mainly used for cervical spondylosis, snoring and insomnia.

Generally, now our most traditional pillow is the kind of buckwheat husk pillow, that is, a cloth bag stuffed with buckwheat husk, this is relatively cheap, the advantage is that it can be shaped, according to our sleeping habits, can be molded into different heights, different shapes, there is a kind of pillow is relatively tall, the kind of fiber pillow used in the hotel, the shape is better, more beautiful, but one of its shortcomings is that it can not be shaped, the height is relatively fixed, and some are too soft, a pressure will collapse. The better pillow is the kind of latex pillow, the latex pillow often it can be made into such an appearance that fits the shape of the back of our head and neck, our head is relatively large, a back of the head, and the neck is concave, so the better pillow should hold up the neck, and at the same time accommodate the big back of our head, and the latex pillow can do this. Buckwheat husk pillow, before going to bed with our fist to make a pit, can also be made into such a shape, so from the health of the latex pillow is better, of course, the pillow also has its height, generally speaking, the height of sleep is different from person to person, generally men sleep when the pillow should be higher, women should be lower, and when sleeping, also look at our sleeping posture.

If you like to lie on your side when you fall asleep, you should use a higher pillow because our shoulders have a certain height. If you fall asleep in the supine position, then it should be better to have a relatively low pillow, and as you get older, the elderly may gradually Luo Guo, after Luo Guo, then the pillow he sleeps on is relatively higher, otherwise the head will go down, very uncomfortable, so the height of the pillow is different from person to person, Luo Guo a little, a little older, male, then use a relatively high pillow, a younger female supine position to sleep, with a relatively low pillow is relatively better.

Pro tip: A good pillow is a latex pillow, which can be made into a shape that fits the shape of the head and the back of the neck, which can hold the neck up and accommodate the back of the head at the same time. In addition, the height of the pillow varies from person to person, so the elderly, men, and sleeping on their side use a higher pillow, and women, young people, and sleeping on their backs use a lower pillow.
