How to use pillow

There are many treatments for cervical spondylosis, and the condition can be alleviated after treatment. However, treatment alone is not enough. Patients with cervical spondylosis should take good care of themselves. People who work at a desk should not twist their head and neck to one side for a long time. They should pay attention to rest and relax the muscles of the neck and back. Many people like to sleep on their side or stomach, with their head tilted to one side all night. This is a very bad habit, as it causes the neck and back muscles and cervical ligaments to be twisted.

If this continues for a long time, young people will often suffer from stiff neck, but it is easier to recover; while these people will develop cervical spondylosis when they reach middle age. Therefore, when sleeping, you should pay attention to using a soft and light pillow, lie on your back as the main position, and pay attention to turning over when lying on your side. It is absolutely not allowed to lie prone with your head tilted.

For cervical vertebrae therapeutic pillows, pillows with a certain supporting strength are better.

The neutral adjustable neck and shoulder characteristics of cattail and kapok are obvious. People with cervical spondylosis should try their best to prevent the neck and shoulders from getting cold. Therefore, the adjustable neck and shoulder pillow is designed with a more physiological shoulder protection design and neck support structure.

B For people with severe cervical spondylosis:

It is recommended to use shapes and materials with stronger support and more direct effects, such as a neck pillow made of buckwheat husks and traditional Chinese medicine, which has a stronger traction effect. In fact, if you have cervical spondylosis, the doctor will generally recommend you to go for traction if it is confirmed. However, the traction provided in the hospital is mechanical traction by hanging, which is rather barbaric and can easily turn a person's minor cervical problem into a serious one. Therefore, many experts have reservations about mechanical traction. If the cervical spondylosis is more severe, it is recommended to use a neck protection pillow with a large diameter and strong traction force. It is best to add a flat pillow or other concave pillow at the back.
