Neck Pillow

Is it better to sleep on one pillow or two following a neck injury? How can I alleviate this intense pain?

I was literally dropped on my head when I slipped out of my partner’s grasp during a suicide drop in dance, and though I fell on a padded mat, it still caused a lot of pain in my neck from the impact. I’ve dealt with enough injuries in the past to know when I need to see a doctor, and this isn’t severe enough to warrant it, but icing and heating it haven’t helped. I can’t turn my head to the right fully, and it hurts like crazy to lift my arm. I have finals this week and so I can’t take painkillers. I thought you were supposed to sleep on one pillow after a neck injury but my friend is insisting I should sleep on two. What else can I do to alleviate the pain?

my boyfriend has upper neck and back pain, could it be his pillow or the bed? and what can he do to sleep?

he works with computers so he’s always lifting them. He recently bought a new pillow but that didnt work. and the bed that he sleeps in is old. He got a massage and that worked for a couple of days i think and then it started hurting again.

what pillow would work for me? im dying of pain in neck!!?

i reallllllllly need a new pillow i used to have a laytex foam pillow which worked great but as time went on the suport finally wore out i had it for at least 10 years so i bought another laytex pillow but it just didnt feel the same and no other laytex foam pillow i have found does.. so i tried a normal synthetic pillow first i tried medium then i tried firm then i got one that was medium firm and that killed me ive had the last straw wasting money on pillows…because of all the pillows i have tried my daughter has 20 pillows on her bed. she sleeps with a different one every night. I am a back and side sleeper i dont sleep much at night so i typically toss and turn i thought about the boomerang pillow or that sobakawa cloud pillow but i have no idea….i dont even remember what its like to sleep well or wake up without a neck ache…..i dont like haveing the pillow under my shoulders that hurts (i have something wrong with my spine so i have to sleep with pillow only under neck and head) and i just want one good night sleep on a pillow that works for me! its not my matress i have a great memory foam matress we just got it a few weeks before i threw out my laytex pillow in july and the i had no problems until i thrw out the pillow….last night i slept without a pillow at all and it actually felt better then any of the pillows i have tried. but PLEASE if you have a sugestion on a pillow please let me know i really dont want to spend a whole lot of money on it my tops is 40 for a pillow of course right now im willing to spend as much as it takes to get one that doesnt hurt!

Neck Pillow for Neck Pain Relief

A neck pain pillow can help relieve and avoid neck pain. Cervical pillows used for sleeping provide ergonomic support for your head and neck which in turn has other benefits for your health.

For one thing, because your head and neck are supported correctly by a pillow designed to relieve neck pain, the surrounding muscles are able to relax. Often that relaxation is all that is needed to reduce to the pain. Without the pains associated with cervical spine ailments, you are able to sleep better and hence, you will wake up more refreshed.

Another reason supportive neck pillows are good for you is that the correct positioning they provide your head and neck also helps position your airways properly. Unrestricted airways will allow easier breathing and may reduce snoring.

A neck pain pillow also can enhance your blood circulation because of their ability to help muscles relax. Blood flows easier through relaxed muscles and so blood circulation is improved.

The benefits mentioned above assert that neck pain pillows provide other benefits to the body besides reducing pain. You may be quite surprised of the overall improvement to your health if you use a neck pain pillow on a regular basis.
