Waking Up With a Headache
Do you wake up with a headache every morning? It might be a pillow issue. Welcome back, I’m Dr. Park with the Chiro Park. Today, we’re gonna talk about how your pillow could be the root cause of your headache.
Measuring Your Neck for a Pillowise Pillow
Today, I wanna represent Pillowise. We’re one of a few providers in this area. How we measure this is you will actually have a real measurement to get your own measurement, ’cause your body and my body, we have different sizes. And depending on the size, you will have a different shape and size for your own neck support.
So, for example, we get all those numbers. You punch those numbers into our special app, and then we will ask what is the right color for your pillow. And this guy got medium blue.
The Right Support and the Proper Way to Sleep
Now, the fact of the matter is we spend one third of our life sleeping. So think about how crucial that is, especially having the right support and also knowing what’s the proper way to sleep. So I will go backwards.
Sleeping on Your Tummy
The worst way to sleep is actually on your tummy. If you sleep on your tummy, in order for you to breathe, you will have to keep your neck turned to one side or the other for over eight hours, and that’s going to cause a misalignment of your neck.
Sleeping on Your Side
Sleep on your side. I’m a side sleeper. As long as you do it properly, make sure you have the right pillow that can support your shoulder width. And also, you might wanna have another pillow between your knees so that your lower back is not crushed.
Sleeping on Your Back
Last but not least, the best way to sleep is actually on your back with the proper shape and size of the pillow that is not gonna push your head forward, but rather give you the right support for your neck.
Get Your Spine Checked and Your Neck Measured
For that reason, I highly recommend you come stop by, get your spine checked, and get your neck measured.
If you or your loved ones are dealing with chronic neck pain and headaches, this might be a good time for you to check your pillow, and I know we can help you.
