How to stop neck pain from sleeping?

Answer: Neck pain from sleeping can be frustrating, but there are several effective ways to address it:

  • Mckenzie Cervical Roll: Consider using a Mckenzie Cervical roll. This specially designed roll, crafted from firm foam, is placed inside your pillowcase to support the natural curve of your neck while you sleep. It gently encourages proper spinal alignment, reducing pressure on the neck and promoting relaxation of the surrounding muscles. This can be particularly beneficial for those who experience neck pain or stiffness upon waking.   

    You can purchase a Mckenzie Cervical roll from various online retailers or medical supply stores. Here's a link to purchase one on Amazon: Mckenzie Cervical Roll   

  • Correct Sleeping Posture: Learning and practicing good sleeping posture is crucial. Sleeping on your back or side with a pillow that supports the natural curve of your neck is ideal. Avoid sleeping on your stomach as it can put excessive strain on your neck.   

  • Pillow Size: Your pillow plays a significant role in neck comfort. Ensure your pillow isn't too high or too low. A pillow that's too high can force your neck into an unnatural position, leading to pain and stiffness.

     Remember, if you experience persistent neck pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment recommendations.
