Strictly speaking, we should sleep with a pillow neck instead of a pillow. I have said before that pillows should be revolutionary and must be revolutionary. Don't call it pillow, it should be called pillow or neck pillow. Because the cervical spine is suspended when the pillow is placed, the ligaments, muscle groups and joint capsules responsible for protecting the cervical spine are relaxed after sleeping soundly. Over time, the physiological curvature of the cervical spine will disappear or even bend in the opposite direction, thus causing the corresponding intervertebral joint dislocation. If the vertebral artery and spinal nerve are stimulated, there will be discomfort such as insufficient blood supply to the brain, dizziness, headache and insomnia.
What is the cause of neck pain?
1, cervical spondylosis
Due to long-term desk work, computer use, high pillow sleep, long driving and other reasons. Degeneration of cervical spine. When the cervical spine degenerates to a certain extent, it will cause cervical hyperosteogeny and cervical disc herniation. Bone hyperplasia, disc herniation, compression to the nerves, muscles and ligaments of the neck will cause neck pain.
2, neck muscle strain
Cervical muscle strain, also known as cervical muscle fibromyositis, is caused by acute and chronic repeated injuries to the soft tissue of the neck, resulting in traumatic aseptic inflammation and pain of the neck muscles, stimulating the muscles to produce a lasting contraction state, causing muscle tension, long-term muscle spasm, local soft tissue vasospasm, insufficient blood supply to muscles and fascia, nutritional disorders, and aggravated tissue aseptic inflammation, thus forming a vicious circle and aggravating pain.
3. Neck trauma
There are many reasons for cervical trauma, such as car accidents, falls and collisions. Damage to the muscles and bones of the neck, leading to neck pain.
