Some patients feel more comfortable without a pillow in their neck, which may be related to various reasons. Some patients have adapted to sleeping without a pillow for a long time, or the hardness and height of the pillow are not suitable, which makes the neck more comfortable.
But in any case, it is suggested that any patient with cervical spondylosis should choose a pillow of suitable height and drag it behind his neck. The reason is that choosing a pillow with a suitable height is conducive to maintaining the normal physiological curvature of the cervical spine and avoiding excessive stretching and bending of the neck. At the same time, dragging the hard part of the pillow to the back of the neck can relax the muscles of the neck and help relieve muscle spasm.
