Those who suffer from neck pain have difficulty finding a comfortable posture, both at rest and during waking. Lack of relaxation and overloading due to lack of rest can worsen pain in the cervical tract.
Gymnastics to mobilize the part affected by pain and therefore make it looser, and the right exercises for listening and relaxation, which allow us to perceive any unnecessary tensions and release them, are useful as prevention or remedy in cases of mild neck pain or in the first moments of pain.
However, when pain is in its most painful and acute phase, everything that can be done and try to release tension through cervical massages, light mobilizations, and even proper rest.
So let's see how to sleep to reduce inflammation of the cervical tract .
How to sleep to reduce inflammation
Rest is very important for the recovery of the body from any situation of tension and imbalance.
Resting is a primary need for anyone, especially for those with symptoms of cervical pain, symptoms that, by their very nature, draw the attention of the individual to a lack of rest.
But resting when you are suffering from neck pain is not always easy. The upright position increases rigidity and the horizontal position, when lying down, can be unbearable.
In order to adequately rest and accelerate the self-healing process, it is necessary to adopt an optimal posture: the position is that which keeps the neck line naturally curved and aligned with the rest of the column.
The recommended posture is the supine one, with a low pillow or, even better, without a pillow, if the mattress is able to model itself on the column shapes.
The pillow is very important: it must support the neck without being too soft, accompanying the natural curvature of the neck and shoulders without forcing their rigidity.

Cervical: symptoms and causes
Cervical pains are distinguished by the area they affect: they are painful affections of the cervical spine, an area between the shoulders and the neck. They can branch out to the upper back and along the arms.
The pain manifests itself with difficulty in the movements of rotation and bending of the head, sometimes of the shoulders and arms.
However, there are also more serious cases in which the symptoms of cervical pain go beyond: dizziness, vertigo, headaches and symptoms similar to labyrinthitis can occur, up to nausea and vomiting.
The causes of cervical pain are mainly attributable to muscle contractures : in fact, muscles tend to ache, and not bones or joints, if not reflexively.
There can be many reasons why the neck and shoulder muscles suffer and produce what are commonly called cervical pains: in the first place there is stress, which induces a constant and unmotivated tension response of all the muscle groups, in particular, for those who feel charged with many responsibilities, those of the neck and shoulders.
Analogously this area recalls the relationship of the person with the responsibilities and gives indications on the perception that one has of oneself in relation to the responsibilities of life . The way to say "shoulder weight" is more than just a word association.
Other reasons may relate to lifestyle, too sedentary or, on the contrary, with too intense sporting activity that does not allow normal muscle recovery.
Also the alimentation and the conditions of the digestive system, including intestine, can, reflexively and indirectly, compromise the functionality of the muscles of the neck and the joints.
