I Have To Sleep Upright?

What do you suggest for my neck? I've seen a couple people who've Had to sleep with their head upright, whether it's to help an ear issue, heart burn problem, dizziness, etc... 

The best thing I've found is to use a travel pillow around the neck when sitting on a couch or chair. A recliner is the best because you can tilt back slightly.

The travel pillow I'm referring to is a u- shaped pillow. 

I know you've seen them at the airport or on the plane. Someone traveling on the plane is basically sitting upright or with a slight incline. That's where these pillows have become most popular.

When DD Palmer discovered the power of the first real chiropractic adjustment, it actually had to do with the ear. Talk about ear flow; a man by the name of Harvey Lillard had lost his hearing when an adjustment opened thing up, and he could hear again...

Think of the sinuses much the same way. If you have misalignments in the spine, more specifically the upper neck, The sinuses and sinus pathways won't be as open and free flowing as they should.

For me, I will often feel the ear channels open up when I do neck traction, putting the normal -C- alignment back in the neck.  Be careful not to jam was in the ear by pushing in further with a Q-tip.  If you have too, take a trip to your doctor's.  They can look in the ear with their scope to see if wax is blocking the passage.

Lastly, using a pillow like the traction pillow will not only help restore neck alignment, it will keep you from sleeping on a painful ear.
