Pillow suitable for cervical patients

In daily life, patients with cervical spondylosis need to correct the cervical spine according to medical methods and choose a sleeping position that suits them. However, when sleeping, in order to avoid damaging the cervical spine again, they need to choose a pillow suitable for patients with cervical spondylosis. Generally, patients with cervical spondylosis should choose a more breathable and soft pillow, and the pillow should not be too high, otherwise it will cause cervical pain and affect normal rest.

1. When patients with cervical spondylosis choose a pillow, they must pay attention to the quality of the pillow. Only by choosing a good pillow can they ensure high-quality sleep, protect their cervical vertebrae, and improve cervical spondylosis. First of all, when choosing a pillow, pay attention to the filling inside. It is better to use soft and breathable fillings, such as: pillows made of duck down, buckwheat husks, cattail fluff, etc., and you can also choose pillow cores made of mung bean shells, duck feathers, etc. These fillings are relatively soft and easier to adjust to the height of the pillow that suits you, so it is a more ideal pillow core filling. The cheapest and most practical is buckwheat husk, so you can buy some buckwheat husks as pillow cores.

2. When choosing a pillow, you also need to pay attention to the height of the pillow. The pillow should not be too high, otherwise, the head and neck will bend forward excessively, which will make the symptoms of cervical spondylosis more serious. Generally, the pillow height should be 8-15cm, which will make sleeping more comfortable. You also need to pay attention to the shape of the pillow. It should be better to choose a Yuanbao shape with a low middle and high ends. This shape of pillow can better maintain the physiological curvature of the cervical spine, and has a relative braking and fixation effect on the head and neck, which can effectively reduce the aggravation of cervical spondylosis caused by abnormal activity of the head and neck during sleep. In addition, the length of the pillow should be 10-16cm longer than your shoulder width.

Finally, you must pay more attention when choosing a pillow. Only the pillow that suits you is the best. You cannot choose some pillows randomly. Patients also need to exercise more and massage their cervical spine as much as possible, which will also help improve cervical spondylosis. Using traditional Chinese medicine methods such as acupuncture or cupping can quickly improve the condition.
