What is waking Cervicothoracic Symptoms ? (落枕)

Refers to acute shoulder and neck pain when waking up.
Caused by improper posture during sleep, causing shoulder and neck muscles or other soft tissues (such as cervical facet joint capsule or ligament strain) injuries. Because of the injury of these soft tissues, the symptoms are severe shoulder and neck pain. In severe cases, turning the head will cause unbearable pain, which will affect sleep and daily life.

Does it affect by pillow ?

When sleeping, whether the pillow properly supports the cervical spine is indeed related to the occurrence of pillow fall. From the literature, proper support of the pillow is more important than the material of the pillow.

If the pillow supports the cervical spine correctly, ask your family to see if the line between the earlobe and the shoulder is parallel to the horizontal line when you lie flat.

Treatment ?

Self-care at home:

* Icing / Heat therapy: In principle, you can apply ice on the first three days after pillow fall to reduce swelling and pain; after three days, you can start hot compress.

* Over-the-counter painkillers: for example: Acetaminophen, Tylenol or NSAIDs.

* Gentle shoulder and neck stretching

If none of the above treatments can alleviate pain, or still affect daily life functions (for example, you cannot turn your head while driving), then you must seek professional medical treatment.

* Manipulation

* Physical therapy equipment: electrotherapy, ultrasound for treatment, low-energy laser, etc.

* Myofascial pain syndrome: If the myofascial pain syndrome is repeatedly caused by waking Cervicothoracic Symptoms, Acupuncture Therapy is a very good choice.
* Facet joint syndrome: you can ask a physical therapist or a chiropractor physician for free hand treatment; or ask a doctor for ultrasound guided injection treatment.
