A member asked:
I suspect i have pulled muscles or pinched nerves in neck/upper back, causes headaches. going to doc, but can a special pillow help ease pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: A specialized pillow for neck stability may ease the discomfort but you should have imaging of your head and neck as well as treatment such as physical therapy, massage, acupuncture and if particularly bad, steroid injections or nerve blocks may be helpful. But first an evaluation should be done.
