What harm does a pillow with a pillow fall into?
Newborns and infants can be without pillows. However, with the growth of age, the development of bones, as well as the growth and maturity of various organs and parts, and the gradual formation of the body's physiological curve, it is necessary to cooperate with a certain height pillow to ensure a certain degree of sleep. The pillow is too high will oppress the blood vessels and nerves, also can let the head Shen excessive, cause local muscle pain, no pillow words will be oppression laryngeal cavity, will make the physiology of head and neck bending straight, muscle strain also cause pain. So, do not pad the pillow is not good, sit back and relax is not good, everything is suitable for their own, is the best.
Long term effects can accelerate the degeneration of cervical spine. Therefore, the height of the pillow should be adjusted according to the physiological radian of the cervical lordosis. For patients with cervical spondylosis, it is advisable for the patient to feel comfortable. For those who are accustomed to lateral decubitus, the height of the pillow is suitable for the distance from the spinous process to the outer edge of the acromion.
The pillow is too low, the head and neck will be excessive back, lordosis curvature increases, so that the front of the vertebral body muscle and ligament excessive tension, long time will appear fatigue, and even cause chronic injury, accelerate degeneration. At the same time, the yellow band of the back of the vertebral arch extends forward into the spinal canal, increasing compression, while the spinal cord and nerve root become shorter and the volume of the tube volume increases. Therefore, the pillow is too low, as well as the neck muscles, ligaments, joint capsule, spinal cord, nerve roots and vertebral body adversely affected.
Most think, sleep with a low pillow can prevent cervical spondylosis, is also good for patients with cervical spondylosis, in fact, this view is not correct, because the head and neck with normal physiological curvature of cervical spine, namely mild lordosis. This physiological curve not only ensures the balance of the external muscles of the cervical spine, but also plays an important role in maintaining the physiological and anatomical status of the spinal canal.
