I get this question a lot on the neck pain support blog from patients who are having trouble sleeping at night because they suffer from neck pain. The neck pain may be due to a whiplash type injury, a herniated or bulging disc, a neck sprain/strain or because of bad neck posture during the day or at work. In this post I want to go over some best practices regarding contoured neck pillows and sleep, that will help you if you suffer from neck pain.
Since we spend a good one quarter to one third of our lives sleeping, finding the most comfort during that all important time of regeneration and rest is of paramount importance.

Yours in excellent health . . . without neck pain!
