Should I Get A Doctor Recommended Pillow Versus An Off The TV Product?

Common sense tells you to go with the pillow recommended by your doctor. Now has he seen you a couple because you do want him to know you or your body before he recommends something.

Otherwise it’s like you getting a product off the tv — it may be a great product; just not for you. On television they are geared at selling to the masses, so that particular item may not fit your needs.

There will be testimonials and money back guarantees; you name it. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but their goal is to sell.

It would be best to have a product that is popular enough to make it on tv plus it is highly recommended by professionals.

The Twist Neck Pillow fits that criteria. Not only are there Doctors of Chiropractic here at Arc4Life but there is a Chiropractor giving a testimonial for the travel twist pillow on the commercial.

So when choosing a pillow, think about your heath and spine but listen to others as well... especially experts on the neck, spine, and s

“I Strained My Back Before I Have To Travel”

Bending very far kinda hurts, so I like how I can snap together my pillow up near the top where I pull the suitcase through the airport.

I usually use the pillow for my neck. I twist it to a U-shape and put it around my head and neck. This time I used it behind my back. I put the roll behind my low back, which fells good. My wife bends the pillow once to use behind her back.

It’s nice to be able to bend or fold the pillow to fit your body. I’ve noticed they sell the U-shape pillows everywhere now. This pillow seems like the next best thing because you cans twist it into a U-shape but also much more.

Bending & Twisting

A forward bend to the side (a bend with a twist) can stress the disk in a weak spot.

The most common area of a disc for injury is called a Postero-Lateral Disc Herniation or Disc Bulge. That’s diagonally to the back.

Think about it - When you bend forward and to the right it puts the most pressure back and to the left. It’s that area of the disc that is the most commonly injured.

Now that we know that,: try to bend with your knees and meet something straight on when you attempt to lift a heavy object.

Why Deal With Pain When You Can Just Get Adjusted?

Yesterday I had a light headache. I was located on the top of the head. I didn’t eat much for breakfast so I thought that the lack of food or eating did it?

The location was slightly different so I definitely figured it was a lack of food thing... I usually don’t get headaches from lack of food but then again, I rarely miss a meal ; )

When it comes down to it, I should have just got an adjustment. The headache seemed a little better after eating but it did quickly come back. So I got my neck adjusted and the headache quickly vanished.

Next time there will be no time wasting; I’ll get adjusted and I won’t even think about it.

If I’m In Pain, Is My Body Telling Me Something?

Chances are, your body is saying something. First, ask yourself, where is your pain? How long has it been there? What may have caused it?

Many just ignore it if they can. You can do that for a short time to do something you were working on or be somewhere you already planned. But ignoring your pain for too long, isn’t good. The pain might be getting harder to get rid of as time goes on.

It’s sort of like seeing the red light but ignoring it and not stopping. What can happen? You drive into oncoming traffic. Not Good. You clearly get the idea from this scenario - don’t ignore your health or it may ignore you.

“I Have Multiple Herniated Discs”

“I basically abused my body; doing things I shouldn’t have for too long”

Hindsight is always 20/20, but I know this guy and he should have been a little better to his body.

This person knew better, but all this stress he put on his back, day in and day out, he knew would lead to problems. So now he does things differently, more back injury prevention. The sad thing is that he could have been doing this before...

All the supplements and treatments in the world can’t fix his back but just some prevention would have saved him. “An Ounce Of Prevention Is Worth A Pound Of Cure”!

Tire Yourself Out!

When getting to bed I have found that if I do a lot during the day I'm pretty pooped. Now sometimes, if you sit around a lot, or eat right before bed, you aren't tired and you may not sleep well. It may be what you eat too. Too much sugar or caffeine may keep you up.

Also, having a good pillow can help. I use the Cervical Linear Traction Neck Pillow. The Back Dr’s specializes in pain relief for the neck and the lower back.

What Did They Do In The Past?

-Years ago, all the health problems you have today did not exist then. I wonder why?

I was talking to someone who grew up in the 60s and he said no-one had the health issues they have today. In fact, the disease they have today we’re not around. Also all the shots they give today doesn’t make sense; back then they didn’t even have any shots either.

Modern medicine has become very scary. “Medical Errors Are Third Leading Cause of Death in the U.S.” - USNews.com

I must say, with all the knowledge and medicine we have available, I’d venture a guess that things would be much better for most.

I’ve Been Coughing And Sneezing, I think I Messed My Back Up...

You definitely may have. When you cough,especially if you try to hold it in, you build up internal pressure. It is often this pressure that can throw the spine out of whack.

I often rush to turn or something else to avoid sneezing somewhere I don’t want as well; this can definitely cause some discomfort.

I just thought of this morning, I moved turned away from my daughter so I didn’t sneeze on her. Now. She was on my lap so I turned my low back and neck as much as I could. I also, for some reason, often turn left, but we have an end table there. I had my coffee there so I rushed to turn right.

Now, if I have the chance, I grab something to brace myself. Some sneezes are bigger than others! As you guessed, this one was big. Not only did I wrench my back but my neck didn’t feel great either.

If you know a big sneeze or cough is coming, and you can, keep your body’s spine straight and your head straight, bend your knees slightly, and grab something to brace for the body’s whiplash.

"I Hate Pain"

Pain is your body’s way of saying: “somethings wrong”. So if you have pain there is something going on in your body that’s not right.

Some people can withstand more pain than others; they have a higher “pain threshold”. You could say to me this can be good and bad. You could withstand more pain however you may ignore pain that you shouldn’t.

The same holds true for taking medication. Some medicines trick the brain so you don’t feel anything, meanwhile the pain is still there and the problem is still there, you just don’t know it. So things can actually be getting worse.

Can You Get Back Pain From Sitting Too Much?

If you are constantly in one position all-the-time, and don’t move much, you can get pain. They often say “motion is life” because the body is meant to move.

So let’s just say you have a job where you sit a lot. Nothing says you can’t get up and move around a bit. Also, make sure you desk set-up is as optimal as possible. Not just the lower back is comfortable but the neck is in a good position too.

The whole spine is connected and works as one unit, so keep it healthy and maintain it every day.
