How Neck Pillows Can Help Reduce Cervical Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common pains among adults and increases as they age. It may also radiate into the shoulders and sometimes down into the arms which may cause a person to wake up with extremely bad headaches and a stiff neck. 

Human beings spend about one-third of their life sleeping on their beds, for that reason, having the right type of neck support while sleeping is quite essential.

The seven bones together in your neck make up the cervical spine. All these bones are cushioned by spongy cervical disks and are further supported by tendons and muscles. The usual shape of the cervical spine is a soft curve known as the lordotic cervical curve. Anything that may cause a person to lose the natural neck position for a long duration of time like sleeping with their neck extended or bent, can lead to stress on their spine as well as on the supporting structures. This can further lead to excessive neck pain. 

While research on neck pillows in quite rare, some results have shown that neck pillows that provide firm support and a good shape can prove to be more effective when compared to a regular pillow when it comes to reducing morning neck pain. 

According to a recent study that was performed on 128 people with chronic neck pain, a combination of exercise treatment followed by the use of a support pillow proved to be more effective than just exercising alone in relieving chronic neck pain. 

A neck pillow is specially designed that offers optimum support to the neck and head in a natural position. When looking for one, you will come across a variety of these pillows n the market that may help reduce your neck pain naturally and give you a deep sleep.
