The pillow and the cervical neck pain
The cervical pillow neck pain from the T.SILK COLLECTION line is a valid ally of the cervical spine, capable of combating postural and inflammatory phenomena that create numerous and different situations of pain and partial muscular immobility which take the generic name of cervical pain or cervical arthrosis.
Cushion or Pillow's innovative construction features and the exceptional mechanical and physiological characteristics of the silk fibre, the fabric and the padding for the cushion allow for excellence in levels of comfort, ergonomics and health.
What does cervical mean and why the right pillow is so important
When we talk about cervical spine and orthopedic pillow we mean a particular area of the spinal column called the vertebral spine .
Technically, it comprises the vertebrae that go from C1 to C7 and extend from the base of the cranial body to reach the upper part of the thoracic spine. Due to its characteristics and functionality it is an area designed to guarantee high mobility and valid support of the skull, large movements and the protection of the structural elements that are present in it:
- spinal cord,
- vertebral artery,
- musculature
- nerves, bones and ligaments
To fully understand the fundamental importance of the cervical area, it is enough to think that the lesions caused to this area by serious traumatic factors can lead to death or paralysis of the body or part of it (tetraplegia).
What is the cervical spine made up of?
Knowing the anatomy of the cervical spine is essential to understanding how a good orthopedic pillow can help prevent and reduce cervical pain and arthritis.
The cervical or vertebral spine is made up of two distinct parts that assume a 36-degree inclined shape defined as lordosis:
- Upper region – vertebrae C1 (Atlas) C2 (Axis), separated by a vertebral disc. It is the fundamental part that ensures the ideal alignment for the structures and organs that oversee balance and sense. They guarantee a rotation of 45 degrees
- Lower region – C3 C7 vertebrae. These are 5 vertebrae that have a very similar structure to each other, with smaller dimensions compared to the underlying vertebrae, they are specialized in anterior, posterior and lateral torsion. It is the area dedicated to the neck muscles (posterior and anterior muscles that are divided into suprahyoid muscles, infrahyoid muscles and lateral muscles)
Pillow and cervical Neck Pain: How to Relieve Symptoms
What is commonly defined as neck pain is in fact a set of different pathologies that in 85% of cases derive from non-serious alterations of the main physiological and mechanical structures present in the spinal column: vertebrae, bones, muscles, ligaments, joints, nerves, nerve endings.
A well-designed ergonomic pillow that uses natural and thermo-regulating fibres can be a valid support against symptoms such as stiffness, dizziness and muscle inflammation in the cervical area.
Simple postural mechanical stress or stress deriving from psychophysical stress can affect an area that is already responsible for carrying out a series of fundamental vital tasks. Not to mention all that series of phenomena inherent to aging. Cervical arthrosis is inherent to a physiological wear of the cartilage of the different joints present between the vertebral discs.
In cases of incorrect postures maintained over time or external events, microlesions can occur that tend to worsen, creating inflammatory phenomena that are sometimes very painful. Tingling, nausea, buzzing, dizziness, sudden and violent text pains, muscle stiffening and limitation in different movements are effects linked to serious inflammatory phenomena.
Why choose the T.SILK COLLECTION pillow as a bed pillow
The best pillow against humidity: comfort for the neck
The external humidity level but even more so the one caused by the pillow during sleep is able to determine situations that affect the complex structure of the cervical area:
- The presence of pockets of deposited humidity, combined with sudden changes in temperature, create a contraction of the complex of neck muscles, increasing their rigidity and activating the nerve endings associated with pain.
- Increase the level of inflammation resulting from microlesions present in the cervical area
- Create a situation of general superior neurological sensitivity to pain
A silk neck pillow can limit the negative effects of humidity and prevent skin inflammation.
The construction of the T.SILK COLLECTION silk-padded pillow is able to control and limit the formation of damp areas.
- the zero humidity process starts from the surface layers of the outer fabric whose discontinuous silk fiber captures excess moisture and transfers it to the internal padding.
- The external layer of the T.SILK padding is able to acquire +30% of its weight in humidity with one of the fastest drying times of textile fibres.
- any kind of accumulation and stagnation is avoided.
Cervical pillow and thermoregulation: well-being in all seasons
Sudden changes in temperature levels resulting, for example in summer, from the use of air conditioning have been proven to cause sudden contractions and relaxations of the neck muscles that are difficult to absorb in a short time by the cervical structure.
The T.SILK COLLECTION pillow ensures a stable temperature, improving the quality of sleep and reducing cervical stress.
Being able to have, during the night, a constant regulation of the temperature level within the microclimate, formed by the head, neck, cervical spine and pillow, allows you to:
- reduce the inflammatory level,
- promote the regression of pain nerve receptors
- facilitate all those regenerative, relaxation and cellular reconstruction processes typical of night-time rest and which are also influenced by the quality of sleep.
The T.Silk COLLECTION pillow guarantees perfect thermoregulation thanks to the outstanding qualities of silk and T.Silk silk padding, even during particularly critical seasons (midsummer or midwinter). The level of heat developed by the body and the padding itself is kept constant, ensuring the absorption of large quantities of water vapor, sweat and its rapid release to the outside, avoiding accumulation that causes further heat or condensation.
Silk Pillow for Neck Pain: Natural Ergonomics and Regenerating Benefits from Natural Silk Proteins
Increased physical activity, unsuitable postures, psycho-physical stress phenomena, a sedentary lifestyle and incorrect sitting methods increase the risk of situations that are not suited to the structure of the cervical area and the risk of cervical inflammation.
Rest and night-time sleep are essential to allow for those moments of mechanical and physiological release of the pressures accumulated during the day, and rest must absolutely not be transformed into a moment of further accumulation of mechanical phenomena and stress.
The T.SILK COLLECTION silk pillow, thanks to its construction features and the quality of the silk, allows for a completely relaxing sleep, ergonomically perfect for relief and support and for health :
- Silk fibre combines high lightness and softness with rigidity to torsion and mechanical forces, guaranteeing softness and support.
- The construction of the pillow with a first containing cover in discontinuous silk fibre fabric, a 100% silk layer of high thickness and softness and differentiated soft fibre inside, naturally creates that butterfly shape capable of containing and supporting the head, neck, cervical and backbone complex.
- The natural proteins of silk, fibroin and sericin, which are highly complementary to those of the skin and hair with a series of amino acids capable of releasing vital substances that help the metabolism of the human body are able to actively fight inflammatory phenomena, guarantee perfect relaxation of the muscular system, promoting correct breathing with optimal oxygenation of the cells and systems intended for night-time microregeneration.
