Pillows

Too many times we have heard from doctors that they do not carry pillows because a patient can buy a pillow from a large retailer.  However, what they are missing is that with a large retailer the patient is often times buying an inferior product and they do not have a doctor fitting them to a pillow that will provide them with the proper support for their given body.

Pillows are not only a great way to help increase your revenue but they are also a great way to enrich the lives of your patients.  Think about it this way…  say a patient comes in for an adjustment and you get everything properly aligned and alleviate the sublaxations that are occurring.  This is great right but if they go home to a cheap unsupportive pillow or even worse shove 3 pillows under their neck while they sleep, how long do you really think that adjustment is going to last.  And don’t you think over time they are going to see some long-term damage to the curvature in their neck? 

So now you are probably thinking…. Well it sounds good but I don’t have the space, don’t know how to implement the pillows into my clinic, and I definitely don’t have the time.  All valid concerns but this is where we can help.  Most of the pillows we carry actually come with Point-of-Purchase displays so you don’t have to worry about finding something to display them in and better yet the displays actually sell the pillows for you.  And as with all of our pillows if you find one sells better than the others as long as it is still in the packaging you can return it and we will credit you back for the pillow.  

Below is an article that you can use if you wish on your website and it just goes over some different types of pillows and the importance of good cervical pillows.

If you have recently been to your local chiropractor’s clinic, you may have seen a number of pillows on display. But, what are they, and how do they help the problems associated with posture and the spine? In this article, we will take a closer look at some of the most popular chiropractic pillows and how each one can benefit you in different ways.

If you are spending each night asleep with your head on a poor quality pillow, then you could be causing yourself some serious problems, especially with your back or neck. That is why you need a quality cervical pillow and why you cannot afford to continue sleeping on a cheap, unsupportive pillow. After all think about how much damage you could be doing when you are staying in one incorrect position for a full 8 hours at a time every night 365 days a week.

Cervical Pillow

One of the most common types of pillow is what is commonly known as a cervical pillow. A cervical pillow is shaped to support the neck and keep the neck in a properly aligned position. It is shaped much differently than a standard pillow, with raised sides and center, with a curve-shape center to hold the head in place. At first you may find some discomfort with the pillow; however, you have to realize you have been doing something the wrong way for years and it takes some time to adjust to a proper pillow.  One tactic we normally suggest is to sleep on the pillow for an 1-2 hours a night at first and work your way up to a whole night.

Memory Foam Pillow

Another type of chiropractic pillow is the memory foam pillow. Memory Foam pillows are becoming more popular in today’s world with the rise of memory foam mattresses.  Memory foam pillows are very effective because of the fact that the material molds around the shape of your head and neck thus providing the proper cervical support.

Water Pillow

One popular orthopedic pillow is the water pillow. There are quite a few water pillows on the market at the moment, and these either come as pillows that you completely fill with water, or partly fill. One of the best things about these pillows is that they can be customized to meet the needs of each individual, so there is no need to buy separate pillows.

Finally

As you can see, when it comes to chiropractic pillows, the choice is wide and varied, but before you go out and buy a pillow, it is best that you seek the advice of a professional chiropractor. They can help determine what kind of chiropractic pillow is best suited for your needs and ensure you are receiving the proper support to maintain the fully aligned body.
