How to choose pillow for cervical spondylosis

summary

Pillow is the main tool to maintain the normal position of head and neck in our life. This normal position is to maintain the physiological curve of the head and neck segment itself. This kind of weight curve not only ensures the external muscle balance of the cervical spine, but also maintains the physiological and anatomical state of the spinal canal. Therefore, an ideal pillow should be in line with the requirements of cervical physiological curvature, soft texture, good air permeability, low in the middle, high at both ends of the ingot shape is better. How to choose pillow for cervical spondylosis.

How to choose pillow for cervical spondylosis

First: the height of the pillow: 8-10 cm is more appropriate, the specific size depends on everyone's physiological characteristics, especially the physiological radian of the neck. The pillow can be slightly higher for those with wide shoulders and fat body, and slightly lower for those with thin body.

Second: soft and hard to moderate: cervical spondylosis pillow should choose slightly soft, but not lose certain hardness type, on the one hand, can reduce the pressure between cervical spondylosis pillow and scalp, on the other hand, maintain the uneven pressure, so that the blood can pass through the place with less pressure. Cervical spondylosis pillow as long as a little elastic, elastic too large, resulting in neck muscle fatigue and injury.

Third: pillow filling: commonly used are ① buckwheat shell: cheap, good permeability, can adjust the height of the pillow at any time. ② Dandelion: soft texture, good air permeability, can be adjusted at any time. ③ Mung bean shell: not only has good air permeability, but also can cool and relieve summer heat. It is better to add appropriate amount of tea or mint.

matters needing attention

For those who are used to sleeping on their backs, the height of the pillow should be equal to the height of their fists after compression (the height of clenching the tiger's mouth upward is the standard of fist height); for those who are used to sleeping on their sides, the height of the pillow should be consistent with the height of their shoulder width after compression; of course, whether sleeping on their backs or on their sides, the cervical spondylosis pillow which can maintain the normal physiological radian of the neck is the most ideal.
