Relieve neck and shoulder pain Cylindrical pillows are best used
Some friends often suffer from neck and shoulder pain, but often do not think that this may be a pillow trouble. The height of the pillow must be moderate. When people are asleep, the neck muscles are completely relaxed. Only the elasticity of the intervertebral ligaments and joint capsules is used to maintain the stability of the intervertebral structure. Only the proper height of the pillow can maintain the normal physiological lordosis of the cervical spine.

If the pillow is too high, the neck will bend forward, causing the muscles to be stretched too much, causing pain, cramps and even cervical spondylosis; if the pillow is too low, the head and neck tend to lean back, and the muscles and ligaments in front of the vertebral body are over-stressed. It can cause fatigue and even chronic injuries, and it can also easily stress the trachea, dry mouth, throat pain, and snoring. Generally speaking, the height of the pillow after compression = (shoulder width - the diameter of the head) ÷ 2, which is the distance from the outside of the neck to the outside of the shoulder, the best for adults is 6 - 9 cm; also some experts suggest that the height of the pillow is compressed It is advisable to be equal to or slightly lower than your own.
Most of the pillows used in daily life are flat. In fact, Chinese medical scientists have always advocated the use of cylindrical pillows. Because the round pillow is very much in line with the physiological curve of the cervical spine, it can not only stabilize the cervical spine, but also fully relieve the strain of the neck muscles and ligaments. It can also play the role of cervical collar and mild traction and can reduce the oppression of the hyperplastic bone on the nerve and prevent it. Cervical spondylosis. Adults choose round pillows, which are usually 45-55 cm long and 12-14 cm in diameter. Pillow filling should not be too full. It can be about 80% of the pillow volume to facilitate height adjustment. If you are not accustomed to using cylindrical pillows, when using flat pillows, choose a pillow that is about 50 cm long and about 15-20 cm wide.
The softness and hardness of the pillow should also be moderate. A stiff pillow can make the contact surface between the head and the pillow smaller, and the partial pressure is too large; a pillow that is too soft can increase the compression area on the scalp and is not conducive to blood circulation. Therefore, it is best to choose a certain elastic pillow.
Before going to bed, you can make the pillow into a concave shape with the head rest in the depression, so that the neck is supported by the protruding part of the edge of the pillow. In this way, the contact area between the neck and the pillow is increased, and the pressure is evenly distributed. The muscles around the spine are fully relaxed, and no pressure is exerted on the shoulders, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of "surgery" and cervical spondylosis.
