OMG! Life changing!!!!! I've been suffering from cervicogenic migraines for 5 years, and tinnitus in one ear for 3 years. I was diagnosed with cervical spine instability and after watching this video, I've realized my sleep position is the cause!!!! THE ONLY CAUSE!!! Over time I've literally damaged the ligaments in my neck from improper sleeping!!! I've tried these techniques for two nights and my ear ringing is nearly undetectable for the first time in three years. I had some accidental good days with the ear ringing and i knew it had something to do with my sleep position but I COULD NOT figure out which way to lay, or how to lay. Now that I understand the "why" of neck anatomy and the other things you cover in the video, I'm now able to focus on what I need to do and like I said already see significant improvement in the tinnitus!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm not in search of the correct kind of neck pillow.

Thanks Dr. Jon Saunders. There have been times when I feel like my neck nerve pain is healing, but my neck was burning worse than ever this morning. A touch of ice made it that much worse! Really good tip using a pillow to support the neck rather than the head. I will try rolling up my softer pillow tonight, if that doesn't work I will try finding a barrel pillow! It may take some getting used to but I know that sleeping the way I have been (often supported with my arm underneath my head) just isn't working for me anymore. I have some scoliosis so I think that, along with poor seating and sleeping habits is what has caused my neck issues. It's been over 1.5 months. Will give it another 2 weeks or so of neck exercises before seeing a specialist.

I have scoliosis and a very forward head position. Hump is at the top and middle of thoratic spine. I have to sleep in my recliner. Too hard to turn to the side to get out of my adjustable bed. Have issues with forward head posture there also. So of course have to sleep on my back. I have had compression fractures in the upper spine. How do I cushion my neck to sleep with out pain in one side of the other of my neck by morning. Sleep the best with a U shaped neck rest pillow that is firm foam that wraps around my neck area. I have to have a child size small as I am a pretty small person. And it is still a little bit loose around my neck and head. I am 80 yrs old. Received a severe whip lash that affected my neck and upper back in 1985. Degenerative arthritis set in not long after the injury.

Found your video after diagnosing myself with cervical radiculopathy (going on 4 weeks now). I've intuitively realized the tips you've discussed in this video. Is there a pillow you recommend? I think I'll need more than just a tube along my neck. :) This all started FROM my sleeping in a bad position - woke up a week before Veteran's day unable to turn my head (I LOVE MY STOMACH SLEEPING but haven't been able to since. It's out of the question now). Once the muscles felt better, I had an ache and pulling feeling going down behind my left armpit/arm and I've had tingling in my hands. I noticed that the pain was subsiding day by day until I stupidly went to the gym to lift and tightend those muscles - it's also aggravated when I'm cold/shivering. Heat helps and it's better after a night's sleep also but I really need a better pillow. What do you recommend for both head and neck? Thank you!

I’ve lost the curve in my neck & have painful degenerative disc disease and arthritis. Also, do you recommend denneroll cervical traction therapy at all? What I’ve been doing is stacking 3 pillows up so I can sleep more upright. Which seems to help the sleep apnea but not the neck pain.

They may be if you are supported and your head is not pushed forward.

Hi John, I recently used one of those carved out pillows. After a few months I believe it caused me to have cervical dizziness. I’m afraid to now use a pillow in my neck now. Do you know the type of pillow I’m on about?

@drjonsaunders Жыл бұрын

Pillow selection is not easy and should really be based on your size and postural pattern - please ask your DC or PT for best recommendation.

Grrr I’m so 😡 I had this problem with no support at neck curve tried this kind of stupid pillow and it’s painful it’s the wrong angle! I’m 5ft 100lbs I literally spent 400 dollars on pillows that supposedly help they all suck! I even tried making my own with towels no matter size of roll it doesn’t work! It’s either too much pressure or not enough support. I need a pillow that supports my neck curve withou being hard after laying on it for 20min and I need something that keeps my head from turning as I fall asleep

Hi, when I try to sleep on my back, my head always goes to the side and I feel the veins in my neck are being compressed. It always freaks me out and I continue to move around looking for a comfortable/ safe possition. When I sleep on my side I've been getting headaches and when I try to NOT be in a fetal position, my neck muscles spasm and pull my head back and I think it pinches a nerve.
