How to support a neck injury while laying down?
A little over a year ago I was in an auto accident. My neck is acting up again and none of the 4 pillows I own is doing me any good. (read: wave-like foam ergonomic, half feather/half polyester, firm total polyester, and soft feather pillow) I’m trying to come up with and idea of how to support my neck sans-pillow. Any possiblities?
Ask a physiotherapist or chiropractor. They should be able to assess what kind of support pillow would suit you best. I’ve found the orthopedic pillows to be very comfortable and supportive for me, but you should get a proper assessment done first to determine what would suit you best. Good luck
