These issues can lead to worse effects on the body when chronic pain is accelerated by fatigue. If the body is not properly rested, it cannot heal itself effectively (as most of our healing happens during sleep!)
How are Chiropractic pillows better for my body?
A Chiropractic pillow will have contours that support the normal curvature of the neck, allowing the spine to rest. This is especially important for side sleepers. If you rest on a flat pillow on the side of your body, your spine will be unnaturally curved. This can cause stress and tension. A good pillow, such as a Chiropractic pillow will align the body when lying on the side.
Some Chiropractic pillows will have a high and low peak. These pillows are especially supportive to back sleepers, as they align the neck, whilst normal pillows will put the neck on an unnatural angle which can lead to pain.
Chiropractic pillows are often referred to as Cervical pillows - the name pertaining to the part of the spine the pillows can support. The pillows are often made of super breathable memory foam, which helps the body to regulate temperature, which can stimulate good sleep. Some pillows are also inflatable, making them portable and convenient for travel.
Chiropractic pillows will help with supporting the neck, allowing the body to hold a good sleeping posture and help prevent headaches due to muscle tension. Chiropractic pillows are often designed with two peaks; an indentation in the middle of the pillow allows for a larger peak at the top of the pillow and another peak at the bottom. This form will cradle the neck properly, especially when lying on the back and on the side.
To summarise, Chiropractic pillows can help the body hold good sleeping posture, which can be a great preventative measure for headaches, neck pain and restless sleep. Talk to us for advice on whether Chiropractic pillows are right for you. Until next month, stay well rested!
