Alexandria-Arlington VA Chiropractor, Dr. Leslie Holcombe, knows that the need for postural support does not end when the day does. Sleep is just as important to health as good nutrition and proper exercise. Sleep posture is a significant factor in the treatment of conditions such as neck and back pain trauma, whiplash, neck pain, back sprain/strains, shoulder/arm pain, tension headaches, or arthritis of the back and neck. Plastic deformation (soft tissue stretching) and musculoskeletal instability can develop when especially, the cervical spine is not adequately supported during sleep. Painful misalignment of the spine may result.
Cervical traction pillows from Foot Levelers support the neck with gentle traction during sleep. The head, neck, and spine are aligned whether the you lie on your side or back. Plastic deformation is eliminated. And a normalized physiologic curve may improve vascular and neurological function.
One Size Does Not Fit All …
On average, we spend one third of our lives in bed. If you are sleeping on a pillow that does not address your specific needs, you are likely causing repetitive strain on important neck structures.
