Chiropractor Recommended Pillow

What's the Best Chiropractor Recommended Pillow? 

Pillow for neck painWe know Pillows! As a Chiropractor in Bend Oregon, I've tried numerous pillows for myself over the years. Some good, some bad, and some just made for a 250 lb man (mostly at hotels). As a Chiropractic physician, I am asked frequently what type of mattress and what type of pillow do I use.

You see, the thing is, we spend a considerable amount of time in bed for this crucial necessity of life called "sleep". Much like a good pair of shoes, it is equally important to have a good pillow and mattress where we spend a considerable amount of time. There are also several other very important factors regarding a good nights sleep, but I will save those for another time.

A problem I've always had with selecting my own pillow is the fact that I am a back sleeper AND a side sleeper and often- I fall asleep in one position and wake up in another. I've tried numerous pillows that favor one position or the other while also providing the correct neck and shoulder support based on my body frame. For me personally, sleeping on the perfect pillow was always a hit or mis based on where my body drifted off to during the night. 

Some mornings I'd wake up feeling awesome! Others, I'd wake up with tension in my neck or jaw. And about once per month, I'd wake up with a headache. Although I've recommended hundreds of pillows to my patients over the years, I've always had it narrowed down to those who were back sleepers and those who were side sleepers and often recommended you may spend The Proper Pillow was designed to allow optimal support and alignment with both back AND side sleeping positions.

For years, I carried a water-based pillow in my office as an adjunct to my treatments and home exercise prescriptions and had some success. It was definitely a huge improvement compared to what most patients were currently using. I'd often have patients bring in their pillows (as well as walking or running shoes) to point out the flaws and how a pair of properly fitted shoes from Foot Zone or a less dense pillow could not only reduce pain but "Rock their World" when they apply these small changes.
