neck support pillow is designed to cradle the weight of your head as you sleep - easing the strain on the cervical spine and helping release neck muscle tension. Normal sleep posture means that the neck drops into a flexed shape as you sink into deeper sleep. This can strain inflamed neck joints or muscles - and can aggravate your pain. Try a neck pillow - it may work well for you.
You can also try supporting your neck with a rolled up hand towel placed beneath your neck and in front of your normal pillow as you sleep.

Painkillers for neck pain

I find that the response is very individual when it comes to the choice of pain killer tablets or anti-inflammatory tablets for neck pain. Some people find great relief of their cervical spine pain by taking paracetamol (tylenol) or a similar pain relief tablet. Many have a small dose of codeine added.

Other patients gain benefit from anti-inflammatory medications. Some end up with a combination of both types of tablet. It really is a very individual thing and the best advice I can give is to speak to your doctor about it and then try various combinations to see what works best for you. Be wary of side effects related to anti-inflammatory tablets.

Whats the best neck exercise

The story is similar to the one above for painkiller tablets when it comes to choosing exercises for neck pain.
My advice would always be to seek advice from a physical therapist, an osteopath or a chiropractor.
