That sharp pain in your neck when you finally lay down after a long day? The worst (aside from waking up with a stiff neck, that is). Having the right pillow could help to alleviate neck pain, as there are a variety of pillows that come in diverse heights, fabrics, and filling levels, and each one being well-suited for different sleeping styles.
“As an osteopath, I pay close attention to the body’s alignment and recommend holistic solutions to pain prevention and to treat pain and pillows do play a role in pain,” says Dr. Carlos Cespedes of the Key West Med Spa. “When you spend a lot of time on your back while sleeping you’ll want a medium height pillow; if you sleep on your side, you ll want a higher pillow; and if you sleep on your stomach choose a thinner pillow.”
