Pain also has an emotional dimension. An emotional reaction to more severe, long lasting pain is almost unavoidable and can lead to depression.  Pain often wears us down leading to exhaustion of our mental, emotional, and physical body. How we react to pain and how we cope are often learned from parents and family. Often times severe pain and our reaction to it is beyond our control.

Dealing with pain symptoms is influenced by the media, and by health professionals in roles of authority. Medication for pain is a necessary part of our lives but many have learned that there are alternatives to traditional medical approaches. Slowly, as a society, we are realizing the wonderful world within our body, within our state of consciousness and how our emotions can set us up for pain and illness.

 

Successful reduction of pain and emotional irritation may depend on how well we learn to harmonize our active times with the less active times we normally use for sleep. A body, mind, and spirit, in harmony and balance results in more favorable results in better health and wellness without pain.

 

 

No matter the causes of pain we all search for relief, and respite. The ultimate respite time for each of us, no matter if we have garden-variety aches and pains or the more chronic multi areas of pain, is the restoring, rejuvenating time of deep sleep. Most experts agree that, rich or poor, young or old we need 7-8 hours per night each and every night. It is critical that those in pain extract the healing properties of sleep. Yet pain often impairs our achieving the desired remedy - a night of deep sleep. So what can someone in mild or even extreme pain do?

 

For extreme, severe chronic pain, that's another story.  See my practice site for alternatives to drugs and surgeries: Nonforce Chiropractic In Golden, Colorado.

A pillow may be the most critical, physical element to help one find deep, healthful sleep. Many individuals in pain, seek out new beds of various construction yet continue using conventional pillows. We have found that an expensive bed replacement may be avoided in some cases in lieu of a Totillow pillow purchase. The ability to adjust ones sleeping position and find a more correct ergonomic skeletal support may be absolutely critical to those experiencing pain. 

 

The body normally compensates when experiencing pain, resulting in further swelling, muscle, skeletal distortion, and nerve stress. This is one of the many reasons why proper support is essential. The Totillow pillow was designed to balance the neck and head while sleeping on one's side and stomach. Our goal, at Z Comfort Plus, is to teach the principles of proper sleep posture and how to achieve support, as well as comfort. The Totillow pillow for side and stomach sleepers, when used properly, helps maintain structural alignment with comfortable support. 

At our clinic we used to provide a wide array of pillows to individuals experiencing pain but got feedback that they ended up with headaches or their shoulders would hurt. The pillows were too hard, too soft or were just too heavy. The manufactures made larger and smaller versions models to help the buyers of their products but very few, made them CUSTOMIZABLE and ADJUSTABLE to suit the individual's need in side and stomach positions.

 

We knew the support of the head and the comfort of the neck are critical for sustaining deep sleep. Our patients are will represented in the larger society and they too were experiencing stress, pain, and aches. They needed help with their neck, shoulder or arm pain. We provided a very different pillow option then they were used to. An option that may provide the user, a reliable, customizable, adjustable and comfortable, sleep surface.

 

Younger, middle age and baby boomers as well as older generations of individuals are often feeling pain, or discomfort and loosing sleep over it. The Totillow Pillow, may fit like a glove and help relieve the pressure, irritations and pains in the neck, arm and shoulders, allowing comfort and improved sleep all night long.
