Do you need a pillow to sleep with neck pain
Yes.
Some people think that they can recover without pillows after suffering from cervical spondylosis. In fact, this idea is unscientific. Without pillows, when people lie on their backs, they tend to lean back too much and open their mouths to breathe, resulting in dry mouth, dry tongue, sore throat and snoring. If lying on one side without pillows, the neck muscles on one side will also cause spasm and pain due to over stretching and fatigue, resulting in falling pillows. If the pillow is too low, the blood supply will not be balanced, which is easy to cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, which is very sensitive and will affect the breathing.

How to use the height of pillow correctly
The pillow height of patients with cervical spondylosis must be appropriate. It should not be too high or too low. It should be based on the principle of sleeping on the pillow without distorting the neck, so as to keep the normal physiological state of the cervical vertebra, and prevent or accelerate the degeneration of the cervical vertebra.
Generally, the height of the pillow should be based on the diameter of the pillow and the neck of the pillow behind the head. For different cases of cervical spondylosis, adjust the height of the pillow appropriately:
1. The pillow may be lower in the case of herniation or protrusion of the cervical disc nucleus, or direct compression of the spinal cord by osteophyte at the posterior margin of the vertebral body, so as to reduce the compression of the pressor in front of the spinal canal.
2. If the ligamentum flavum is hypertrophic and invaginated, and the back of the spinal cord is compressed, the pillow can be higher appropriately to reduce the compression on the spinal cord.
3. For the patients with congenital and acquired cervical spinal stenosis accompanied with posterior edge hyperosteogeny, cervical tuberculosis, cervical cancer and ankylosing spondylitis in the early stage, the pillow should still be of normal height.

What kind of filling material should be selected according to personal habits, economic conditions and under the guidance of doctors.
The shape of the pillow
B shape with low middle and high two ends is the best. The utility model has the advantages that: the physiological curvature of the cervical spine is maintained by the middle low part, and the head and neck can be fixed and braked by the high parts of the two heads.
