Does not sleeping on a pillow protect the cervical spine? What are the benefits of sleeping without

Lying flat without a pillow is better for the cervical spine, but of course sleeping on the side is not good. This has a corrective effect on the cervical spine.

It is also recommended that you understand the head inclined spine support mattress, so that supine can traction the cervical spine, which is a good physical method, please refer to it. Of course, it only lasts for about three hours at a time, and then slowly increases the length of time. Please refer to it!

If you don't have a pillow, the position of the head is lower than that of the heart, which will cause more blood to flow into the head, affecting the blood circulation of the head, filling the blood vessels, compressing the tube wall, and feeling dizzy and puffy eyelids after waking up, which seriously affects the quality of sleep. In addition, when you sleep with your head high, your chest is slightly raised, so that the blood in your lower body can flow down and reduce the burden on your heart.

At the same time, sleeping without pillows can cause cervical spine injuries. The cervical spine is located at the upper end of the human spine, which is encased in the neck and consists of 7 vertebrae. The so-called physiological curvature is a sleek, forward-facing arc formed by these 7 vertebrae, and the function of the pillow is to maintain this normal physiological curve.

If you don't use the pillow for a long time, the cervical spine that should be bent will straighten, and it will hunch back, causing damage to the cervical spine and affecting the health of the entire spine. Therefore, in order to avoid the invasion of the disease, patients with cervical spondylosis must pay attention to choosing the right pillow to use.

The benefits are: hunchback. The human cervical spine has a natural physiological curve, and if you don't use a pillow, this physiological curve will always be in a straightened state. You see, the general cervical spine health pillow has this curve.

The disadvantage is: the function of the pillow is to keep the head in balance with the lumbar spine, so as not to compress the cervical spine; When sleeping on your back, the height of the pillow is suitable at 5 to 8 cm; When sleeping on the side, the height of the pillow is 7 to 12 cm for women and 11 to 14 cm for men, depending on the width of each person's shoulders. The appropriate pillow height can be maintained during sleep The cervical spine will not be uncomfortable due to the bad height, but not everyone will maintain the same sleeping position during sleep, often alternating between supine and lateral sleep.

Therefore, when choosing a pillow, the height of the pillow is 8 to 10 cm, and the male pillow can be added by another 2 cm.

In order to cushion and alleviate the ** when walking and jumping, and protect the brain, the 7 vertebrae of the human cervical spine are not just vertically superimposed, but form a sleek, forward-facing arc, which is the so-called cervical physiological curvature, and the role of the pillow is to maintain this physiological curvature.

The length of the single pillow should exceed the width of your shoulders by 15 cm, and the height should be equal to the height of your fist after compression (the height of the fist is the height of the fist with the tiger's mouth upward). On the surface of the pillow, the part that supports the neck and the back (neck curvature) should be cylindrical and have a certain hardness, whichever can set off and support the neck. The part that supports the back of the head should be 3 5 cm lower than the above part, so that it can both support the head and adapt to the height of the neck.

The contents of the pillow are also important and should be chosen according to the individual situation. For example, the kapok pillow is comfortable and soft, and the buckwheat husk pillow is moderately soft and hard.

What we call stiff neck is because of this, the pillow is too high or too low or the sleeping position is twisted, causing damage to the cervical spine and peripheral muscles.

There is also no pillow will also cause the heart to be overburdened, the head position is lower than the chest, which will inevitably affect the blood circulation of the head, and make the blood vessels in the brain congested, for a long time, it will cause dizziness and swelling of the eyelids.

Everyone's situation is different! If you have cervical spondylosis, you should have a shorter pillow! That's good for sleep! If I have cervical spondylosis, I don't have a pillow! That would be a little more comfortable!

No, I just played too much on the computer and got cervical spondylosis, and now I am uncomfortable and dying.

In fact, you can't, don't sleep on a pillow, especially when lying flat, the cervical spine is suspended and has no support, which is not conducive to protecting the cervical spine. If the pillow is too low or too soft, it will affect the blood circulation between the brain and the body, and will cause the neck to tilt back, causing head congestion and facial swelling. If you like to sleep on a low pillow, you can choose the kind of latex arch pillow, and the protruding parts on both sides can just support the cervical spine.

Jin Koil's family has that kind of pure latex arch pillow, which is of moderate height, which is in line with the habits of people who like to sleep on low pillows, and fits the curve of the cervical spine to release shoulder and neck pressure; The latex material is also ventilated and breathable, and the heat dissipation effect is very good.

If you don't have a pillow, it will give the cervical spine a very good physiological curvature, which can relieve fatigue of the spine, form a natural bending amplitude, reduce spinal pain, and make the movement between the cervical vertebrae more flexible.

It is good for the development of muscle tissue, can relieve the tiredness of the body, can also avoid muscle soreness, helps to strengthen the tone of the neck muscles, and can also make the cervical spine very straight.

There is no benefit to sleeping without a pillow at night, which will lead to damage to the cervical spine, causing bleeding in the head and affecting physical health.
