What kind of pillow do chiropractors recommend for neck pain?

Chiropractors typically recommend a cervical pillow, also known as an orthopedic or contour pillow, for people experiencing neck pain. These pillows are designed with a unique shape that helps to properly align the head and neck, reducing stress on the neck muscles and spine.

Cervical pillows are contoured with a dip in the center and a raised edge on either side, allowing the head to rest in a natural position with adequate support for the neck. This helps to reduce the likelihood of waking up with neck stiffness or pain.

In addition to cervical pillows, some chiropractors may recommend memory foam pillows or water-based pillows as they also conform to the neck and head. However, it's important to note that everyone's body is different and what works for one person may not work for another. It's best to consult with a chiropractor who can recommend a pillow specifically based on your individual needs and preferences.
