Proper pillows are very important for keeping a healthy cervical vertebra. In the usual treatment, it is found that many patients with cervical spondylosis will not choose suitable pillows for themselves, and some people even sleep without pillows.
The scientific pillow height is determined according to the physiological curve of the arrangement of seven cervical vertebrae in the human neck. Only by maintaining the normal physiological curvature of this curve can the muscles, ligaments and joints of the shoulder and neck be relaxed. Therefore, the height of pillow should be slightly lower than the distance from shoulder to ipsilateral neck. The most important thing of the pillow is to fill the gap between the back and the head, and the contact position with the shoulder is correct. ?
