Patients frequently ask us if they should be using a cervical pillow and my usual answer is "yes" but make sure you get one that fits you properly. For a side-sleeper you'll need a pillow that fills in the space between your shoulder and ear and supports your neck. Look for a pillow that allows your cervical spine to be supported in a straight line, rather than your neck being proped up at an angle.

Someone asked me today what my New Year's Resolution was for 2012 or did I not believe in that silliness? That got me thinking, what are my resolutions this year? I have decided to make some rather small changes in my life this year. One of them is to only commit to doing my best and making good choices for the day ahead of me. One day at a time. And I will commit to the positive choices ahead of time, at night, so in the morning I know where I'm headed and how I'll get there.

Frequently our patients ask us this question in one form or another. The very short answer? Yes. And no. I'm sure there are authorities in plenty of health professions that will heartily disagree with my following explanation, and they are welcome to. I'm simply sharing what has been my personal and professional experience in my career.
