Can my Neck being off Contribute to my Cold?

Misalignment's in the Spine Create
Pressure Elsewhere in the Body
Short answer is Yes.  For your body to work 100%, you need to have good alignment.  If your neck hurts or you have a neck muscle strain it won't.  This tells me you may have a misaligned neck.

Misalignment's mean pressure on nerves.  Pressure there means that the body doesn't work at it's best.  All communication comes from the brain down.  Any interference whatsoever means a decrease in the body's function and your health.

Also, keep in mind there are nerves that go to the nose and sinuses, etc... Things you especially need working when recouping from a cold.

Get that neck back in alignment to start your healing process!

I Had Surgery in My neck, but it Still Hurts?

This is a tough one. Any time you do a surgery, and you mess with Mother Nature, there's a chance for irreversible damage. Don't get me wrong, you may do very well and you did it at the time, because it was your last option.

It just so happens that I have a pillow that has helped a lot of after surgery people. It's the traction "V" pillow. Reason is that the "v" does such a gentle traction that won't harm anything. So that really functions to hold you in place.

It's a soft pillow, made of fiber. This is unlike foam or memory foam which tends to be very firm. You can sleep on your back or side and you can even rotate it to sleep on the linear gravity side. This side is a little softer and is just a neck roll with no "v".

A look at Neck Range of Motion...

Our necks are built to flex,extend, rotate, and tilt to the side. Or, of course any combination of these. Here's the normal ROM (range of motion) in degrees:
  • Flexion 60 degrees
  • Extension 40 degrees
  • Rotation (turning) 90 degrees
  • Lateral bending (tilt) 45 degrees
If any of these are decreased we may have an issue. If it's not the same form side to side that can tip us off. The spine can be restricted or misaligned cause muscle imbalances and therefore a loss of that range. One may also have neck pain, upper back pain, or even shoulder pain.

Using the right neck pillow can help put your neck in alignment, balance the musculature, and ease pressure off the nerves.
