“My Neck Pain just Keeps Coming Back!"

"Thank Goodness the Pillow Keeps me Pain-Free when I Sleep!”

This can sometimes be the case. Why, you might ask? A couple of reasons: The main one we find is that there is something during the day that is re-triggering the neck discomfort.

For example, I once saw a patient who always watched his television at a 45 degree angle. The couch, actually his recliner I believe, faced 45 degrees from the TV. Basically, when he sat down he always looked 45 degrees to the left. This might not always be a big deal, but if you do this for 2 hours every night after dinner, maybe even conking out there for a bit with your head wrenched to the side, it may become an issue.

He literally re-arranged some furniture and shazzam: his pain stayed away. The pillow was actually improving his neck posture and neck alignment, but he was inadvertently shifting it back out of alignment with his TV watching. Come to find out it wasn’t just after dinner, but a little each morning and sometimes when he came home from work at lunch.

I Don’t Have Neck Pain, But My Arm And Hand Go To Sleep All The Time!

You can often get symptoms from a neck problem that present themselves in the hands and arms. Carpal Tunnel is a perfect example; we often see people who think they have carpal tunnel or elbow problems when in fact the problem is in the neck.

When dealing with hand or arm problems you always want to examine the source of nerve supply to that area. The hands and arms are controlled by nerves of the lower neck and upper back. The same is true for the lower back, which controls function to the legs.

A poorly aligned neck can often result in shoulder, arm, or hand pain or numbness and tingling. In fact, depending on which nerve fibers you irritate, you can get burning pain, nagging pain, numbness, or even weakness. Also, sometimes you may have neck issues as well, sometimes you won’t.



**The Bottom Line**

Whether you have an arm that’s always falling asleep or a wrist that hurts, keeping the neck in its best position will only help!
