CerviPedic Neck-Relief Pillow for Your Olathe Chiropractor Care
If you’re waking up with neck pain, stiffness, or headaches, the problem may not be your spine — it may be your pillow. At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Olathe, KS, we help patients choose the right cervical pillow to support proper alignment, reduce muscle tension, and protect the cervical spine while you sleep. A well-designed pillow can enhance the results of your chiropractic adjustments, cervical decompression, and your at-home exercise & stretch routine.
At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture in Olathe, Kansas, we recommend only clinically proven neck pillows that support proper cervical alignment.
The Best Neck Pillow for Pain Relief
Why We Recommend the CerviPedic Neck-Relief Pillow
The best neck pillows support the natural curve of your cervical spine, reduce overnight strain, and help prevent morning neck pain by keeping the joints in a neutral position.

Your Neck Pillow
Why a Specialized Neck Pillow Matters for Neck Pain
Your cervical spine plays a key role in posture, nerve function, and pain control. Prolonged hours looking at screens, using mobile devices, or sleeping on unsupportive pillows can lead to loss of the natural cervical curve, disc compression, and irritation of the upper cervical joints and nerves. The CerviPedic Neck-Relief helps restore that curve and relieve tension — which aligns with our chiropractic approach to restoring motion, decompressing nerve stress, and improving posture.
Based on clinician-oriented product data:
- It is designed to reduce muscle spasms, neck tension and increase range of motion.
- It supports the head and neck in a gently contoured position to reinforce the natural cervical curve.
- It is portable and usable in many positions — laying down, reclining, or sitting upright.
Patients commonly report sleeping deeper and waking with less neck tension after switching to a correctly fitted cervical pillow
How to Use the CerviPedic Pillow Safely and Effectively
- Place the CerviPedic Neck-Relief on your flat surface — bed, couch or recliner — so the recessed area cradles the back of your head.
- Begin in the lowest support setting — lie back calmly for 5-10 minutes. Stay comfortable; you should not experience sharp pain or increased symptoms.
- As you improve, you can increase the contour or “pump” setting per the device’s adjustment mechanism to slightly increase cervical extension/curve.
- Use this as a complement to your chiropractic treatment at our Olathe office (adjustments, spinal/vertebral decompression, posture correction). The pillow helps maintain gains achieved in-office by keeping your neck supported and aligned between visits.
- Typical recommendation: Use daily (or several times per week) for short sessions (5-15 minutes) until posture improves, then as a maintenance device.
Who Benefits from This Neck Support Device?
Patients we commonly recommend the CerviPedic Neck-Relief for include those with:
- Chronic neck pain, stiffness or upper-cervical joint discomfort
- Forward head posture / “text neck” / desk-work posture strain
- Cervical disc bulges or early degeneration (as part of your overall care plan)
- Tension headaches or shoulder/upper back tension associated with poor neck posture
- Post-adjustment support: If you’re undergoing cervical spinal/vertebral decompression at our Olathe clinic, this device helps maintain the spinal alignment and motion changes we’re creating in-office
Why Choose This Option Through Your Olathe Chiropractor?
At Woodroof Chiropractic & Acupuncture, selecting devices is not about impulse—it’s about alignment (literally) with your care plan. Here’s why offering the CerviPedic pillow makes sense:
- We integrate it into your chiropractic care roadmap (not just a generic pillow).
- We teach proper usage aligned with your adjustment/decompression schedule so you get maximum benefit and avoid counterproductive postures.
- Located right in Olathe, we can answer your questions in-person or during follow-ups and ensure you’re getting real results.
- We believe in smart investment: using tools at home (like this pillow) to support our manual care and improve outcomes, rather than relying solely on frequent visits.
Neck Pillow FAQ
Helpful answers about choosing and using the right cervical pillow
What type of neck pillow is best for side or back sleepers?
Most people do best with a cervical-contour pillow, which supports the natural curve of your neck when lying on your back and keeps your spine level when lying on your side. It helps maintain proper alignment throughout the night and reduces morning stiffness.
How do I know if my current pillow is causing my neck pain?
If you wake up with neck stiffness, headaches, shoulder tension, or pain that improves throughout the day, your pillow may not be supporting your neck correctly. A pillow that is too high, too flat, or too soft can place stress on the cervical joints and discs.
Should my neck pillow feel firm or soft?
Cervical pillows are typically medium-firm so they maintain support without collapsing. Soft pillows usually don’t hold the neck in a stable position, while overly firm pillows may push your head forward. The right pillow should feel supportive—but comfortable.
How long does it take to get used to a cervical pillow?
Most people adjust within 3–7 nights. Some patients experience immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement as their neck adapts to healthier alignment. Mild initial soreness can be normal as your posture changes.
Can I use this pillow if I have a cervical disc bulge or arthritis?
Yes—most patients with cervical disc issues, arthritis, radicular pain, or chronic stiffness benefit from improved alignment during sleep. If you have severe pain, numbness, or difficulty finding a comfortable position, we can help you choose the best pillow for your case.
Do I need a different pillow if I snore or have sleep apnea?
Improved neck and head positioning may help reduce airway restriction, especially for back sleepers. However, pillows alone do not replace medical treatment for sleep apnea. If you use a CPAP, choose a pillow that works well with your mask position.
How often should I replace my neck pillow?
Most cervical pillows last 12–24 months, depending on material and use. If the pillow becomes uneven, loses support, or causes you to adjust positions frequently, it’s time for a replacement.
