LETS CHAT PILLOW TALK

Which pillow is good for neck pain and back pain?

The best pillow for neck and shoulder pain is firm enough to hold the head at a healthy angle, but soft enough to alleviate pressure points. Most sleepers find success with either a memory foam, latex or feather pillow, as these materials offer the best balance of support and pressure relief whilst sleeping.

Do chiropractors use pillows?

Michael and other chiropractors agree that the best pillows for neck pain are ones that maintain proper alignment of the vertebrae in your neck.

Avoid using too high or stiff a pillow, which keeps the neck flexed overnight and can result in morning pain and stiffness in your neck or back. If you sleep on your side, keep your spine straight by using a pillow that is higher under your neck than your head.

What pillows do chiropractors suggest?

Michael typically recommends two types of pillow materials: memory foam and down pillows. For starters, memory foam pillows—typically used for both sitting and sleeping—are soft and provide support by filling the gaps created by your body to align the spine.

Also sleeping on the correct pillow should help you stay asleep through out the night. If you are waking through out the night tossing and turning to get comfortable, this is a sign that you may have the wrong support and pillow for your needs.

In the clinic we have Contour Therapeutic Pillow
They are contoured support, long lasting memory foam, non-allergenic and recommended by health professionals

They are available in different sizes for adults and for your child's support.

Correct pillow position is important.
As seen in photo below shoulders should not be on the pillow just snug against it.

Commonly asked question when patients return to the clinic for their next treatment.

Why is my back worse after my adjustment?

Muscles that may have weakened or been used to supporting poor posture are now being asked to support the body in a new and more healthy way.
Remember your muscles may be use to supporting poor posture and may have deconditioned or have been weakened by injury.
Your muscles are simply reacting to these systems being interrupted as your body returns to its proper form.

Because of this, aching and soreness in spinal joints and muscles are common reactions to your chiropractic adjustments.

This is a good reason to pop your feet up and relax on the couch with a heat pack or ice pack.

Raising healthy and aligned children

Children with a properly aligned spine and neck tend to have better posture and be in better overall health. Chiropractic not only helps align the spine and neck, but also helps to clear the neural pathways. This helps the nervous system to perform well, which is vital to healthy living.

It is easier for fix small problems now than big problems later in life.
