Lasting Pillow Support





Now if we are talking about pillow neck support lasting, we do want it to last for awhile.

The way it usually works is that the more stuffing that's added, the longer it lasts.

This can make for a very hard pillow however. So you need a happy medium. When it feels like you have lost neck support, you may need a new pillow.

"I Love To Sleep!!!"


I don't just love it because I have little kids so rest is well needed. This may be true, but I really enjoy my pillow.

With my Traction Pillow I get neck traction and correct the cervical curve.

That's where the neck roll really comes in.

Correct that curve and you not only open up all the nerve holes but you relax the spinal cord.

Neck Traction To Restore The Cervical Curve


Cervical Traction!


We have a natural "c" curve in our neck.

Doing neck traction where we work to correct that cervical curvature can help the most.

A normal and natural curve of the spine keeps the spinal cord working at 100% and completely relaxed!

"Does Your Body Get Enough Liquid?..."



We all want to be healthier.

One simple way is to drink more water.

We all have heard that 8 cup a day rule. I know it can easily be done because I was drinking twice that amount.

Yep, I have a bigger glass I fill up so I just have gotten used to that...

When Do You Go To Bed?

It's one thing if you work nights, but being a night owl is not great for your health.

If we were meant to be up all night and live in the dark God would have made us mole people.

Think of everyone else too. You want to be up when they are...

What Is A Laminectomy?

A Laminectomy is when they remove the lamina of the spine at the irritated level

This is a pretty major surgery.

Spine and nerve pain is no fun, so this can be done. Just keep in mind that once gone, the lamina is not coming back.

Take a look at where the lamina is -

Anatomy Of Our Spine!

The spinal cord travels from the brain and down the spinal column.

The nerve roots then exit off the cord and through the spine via the IVF's (Intervertebral Foramen). In other words, a hole created on the sides when two vertebrae come together.

Those nerve roots are a bundle of nerves. They branch into more nerves and smaller and smaller nerves to go everywhere in the body.

A Great Tip To Loosen The Neck

The next time you are in the shower, do some stretching in the hot water.

First, make sure you are stable and won't fall.

Next, Do a lateral neck bend. Bring one ear toward that shoulder.

Then, reach up with a fist on the opposite side. Run that hand down the neck, stripping out the muscle. I say in the shower because you can use some soap to make that rubbing smoother. You can use a massage tool also, like the picture. And you may not need to do it in the shower.

You can use this technique on other muscles too.

Happy Thanksgiving


You'll probably sleep great with all that Tryptophan!!!

Truth is - turkey has about the same amount of the amino acid L-Trytophan as other meats.

We all just end up eating too much in general.

Hey, that's what the holidays are all about!
