Pillows
One of the most commonly prescribed products requested by patients
are pillows. Our office stocks a variety of different sizes, shapes,
and types of cervical pillows. Besides muscle testing, there is no
scientific way to know which type of pillow is best for you, so we
recommend using one of our treatment rooms to test out the pillow
for 15 minutes or so before you take it home.

Why are pillows so important?
You spend nearly 1/3 of your life in bed on a pillow, supporting
both your head and neck. A properly fitted pillow can do wonders
to insure a restful night of sleep. A poorly designed pillow,
or one simply incompatible with the size and shape of your neck,
can lead to morning neck pain/stiffness/spasm and headaches.
Ask your doctor before you purchase a pillow to insure proper
size and placement given your unique head and neck build. |
Car Pillows
Like cervical pillows, lumbar support cushions/pillows can be a true
asset for those of you who spend a lot of time in the car. There are
a variety of colors to choose from and they make wonderful gifts.
They can also be used as additional support for secretarial chairs
to support the low back and prevent chronic pain.
