Cervical Spine Misalignments I Symptoms of misalignment in neck vertebrae

A Neck Misalignment Can Cause Neck Pain and Discomfort

Misalignments of spinal bones or in other words subluxations of the neck can be a hidden problem that can lead to neck pain, and stiff neck. Most often misaligned segments don’t move like they should in the proper range of motion that is normal for the neck spine. Your cervical spine has the ability to flex, extend, laterally bend and rotate.

Even more important these malpositions put unwanted pressure on neck nerves which is the real root of your pain. Misalignments in the neck can cause muscle spasms, tightness, difficulty in getting into a comfortable position at night and stiffness.

Pressure on nerves equals pain or maybe even something worse !

Not to mention, misaligned segments don’t move properly causing inflammation and waste products to build up in the cells and muscles.

Getting the neck misalignments corrected restores motion to the spine restricting proper blood flow, allowing nutrients and water to flow in and waste products and inflammation to flow out.

The Neck Pain Relief Kit gives you specific methods to correct neck misalignments or subluxations so you can get rid of your neck pain and restore neck mobility.

For maintaining proper alignment of the neck, consider using a support neck pillow at night. Making sure that your head and neck are aligned properly at night reduces the chances of getting a stiff neck. You can get neck pillows these days that are fitted perfectly for you. For example, the D Core Cervical Support Pillow is great for ensuring that your head and neck are aligned at night.

For Best Alignment of the Cervical Spine, Choose a Neck Pillow that Fits your Neck With Choosing a Simple Cervical Support Pillow- be mindful the of the size. Too many times we have had customers order a large size neck pillow for a king size bed. Yes, you can do this with decor pillows, but not for pillows that you sleep with ! Choose a size that fits you and your neck properly. For example, the Linear Gravity Support Neck Pillow is one of our most popular pillows. It comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. If you are a petite person (for example your height is 5'0 ft, and you weight 100 lbs), then consider ordering the small size. If you are built like a football player ( for example, you are over 6'0 ft, and you weigh 200 lbs), consider the large size linear gravity pillow. If you are a petite person, but like to use a standard size pillow, then choose the medium size linear gravity neck pillow. Just remember, buying a pillows that fits your body size will allow you to have optimal cervical alignment, and in the end a better nights sleep!

Other neck support pillows that we have in a few different formats are the Tri Core Family of Neck Pillows. Check it out below:

Treating Military Neck- Loss of Cervical Curve in the Neck

A Lateral X-ray Shows Loss of Cervical Curve in the Neck Spine

At the Neck Pain Relief Kit, we specialize in Neck Support Pillows. We believe that if you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping, you should be doing it well, getting the best sleep posture. If you have been diagnosed with a loss of cervical lordosis in the neck, a military neck or hypolordosis of the cervical spine, then basically you have a flattening of the "C" curve of the neck. Often times diagnosed on a lateral cervical x-ray (a neck x-ray of your neck from the side), the neck is straight up and down, hence the name "military spine". In these cases, it is possible to have neck pain, neck stiffness, difficulty getting into a comfortable position at night. This misalignment in the cervical curve is corrected by doing traction. Using a traction pillow, such as the Cervical Traction Neck Pillow is ideal in these situations. This Pillow has a special "v" in the center that gives your neck spine a gentle stretch, just like a traction unit. Often times when a patient has been diagnosed with having no curve in the neck, the Doctor will recommend doing a neck traction protocol in the office, and then eventually at home. Doing neck traction during the day, and then using a traction pillow at night can aid in the getting the proper "C" Curve of the neck spine back.
