Neck pain is one of the most common symptoms reported to General Practitioners. The causes can vary from a simple muscle strain to a major spinal disorder. With the spine bearing the entire weight of the body, it experiences significant wear and tear. As a result, it’s no wonder that trauma to the neck and spine are so common.
A large majority of individuals with neck pain have simple muscle strains which can be treated through management of posture, nutrition, exercise, physiotherapy or occupational therapy. It’s rarely necessary to resort to more invasive means.
And after you’ve had your neck pain treated, a supportive pillow is helpful in maintaining proper neck position during sleep. The Mediflow Waterbase pillow is the only pillow that has been clinically shown to relieve neck pain. Simply by adjusting the amount of water in the water bladder you can tailor the support level to suit your individual requirements.
