Description

Neck pillow for treating cervical diseases

This creation is generally related to devices for treating cervical diseases, and more particularly to neck pillows for treating cervical diseases.

Most of the muscles of the body are completely relaxed when they are not in use; however, the muscles in the neck must work without stopping to hold the head in place. The human neck is constantly confronted with gravity. It must also be bent, lifted, rotated, and twisted, resulting in degeneration of the intervertebral disc and facet joints. When the intervertebral disc becomes thinner, the space between the vertebrae becomes narrower. Persistent contraction, hypertonicity, and motor limitation of atypical and typical cervical vertebrae, C0-C2, and C2-T1 can cause headache and neck pain, respectively, and more severely include cervical kyphosis, cervical spine straightening, and Cervical disease in which the cervical disc protrudes. Several intents have been made to treat these cervical diseases, some of which are artificial cervical disc replacement, therapeutic drugs, and spinal treatment. However, artificial cervical disc replacement is not suitable for everyone, especially those with osteoporosis, arthritis, and allergic reactions to stainless steel. In addition, artificial cervical disc replacement requires discectomy, which can lead to other complications. Such as infection, massive bleeding, and damage to the nerves, spinal cord, esophagus or vocal cords. Drugs such as acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can reduce neck pain; unfortunately, they are only temporary. In addition to their limited ability to treat cervical diseases, they cause liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal bleeding, and ulcers. Spinal treatment appears to be a safer option for these three treatments. The chiropractor uses a spine-effective massage technique, such as a specific spinal massage or tool-assisted massage to treat the patient. However, during the treatment of a patient, there is a risk of exerting excessive force on the patient's spine and can result in damage to the spine. On the other hand, if the chiropractor treats the disease with a much safer and therefore much less dense force, the treatment period is usually very long. This treatment period is even extended, although the patient can only spend one to two hours a day with the chiropractor. In order to safely treat the disease and shorten the treatment period, it becomes necessary to have a device that can replicate the safety force exerted by the chiropractor, and it is sufficiently convenient for the patient to use whenever needed to increase each day's Treatment time, thus shortening the treatment period.

The Olson patent (U.S. Patent No. 5,644,809) describes a pillow for maintaining the alignment of the appropriate cervical and spinal thoracic segments when people sleep. However, this pillow does not have a function for treating cervical diseases.

The Chang-Ho patent application (Publication No. WO/2009/148215) describes a pillow for protecting the cervical vertebra by maintaining an appropriate head and cervical height. However, this pillow does not have a function for treating cervical diseases.

Finally, the Sang-Hyun patent application (Publication No. WO/2007/091863) describes the support for the user's head, neck, Pillows on the shoulders and back. When the user lies on the pillow, the pillow relaxes the joints and muscles of the bone to enhance the vertebrae, nerve tissue and blood vessels, thereby preventing various diseases. However, this pillow does not have the function of treating cervical diseases.

One of the aims of this creation is to provide a neck pillow for treating cervical diseases. These diseases include cervical kyphosis, cervical spine straightening, and cervical disc bulging.

According to the present invention, a neck pillow for treating cervical disease includes a member filled with a filler and a solid block close to a rectangle. The filler-filled member is made of an elastic material such as a foam material having a density of 30 to 40 kg/cm 3 , and the filler-containing member includes a rectangular flat bottom side, a vertical flat left and right side, and no angular portion. The front side, the thin back side, and the undulating top side have a flat portion connected to the front side, a slightly concave portion in the middle, and an extremely convex portion connected to the back side. The height of the thinnest area of the pillow is 5 to 7 cm. The nearly rectangular solid block member having a density of 30 to 35 kg/cm 3 made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam material is inserted into the back side of the filler-containing member. The member is located below the extremely convex portion on the top side of the filler-filled member. The nearly rectangular solid block comprises two parts: a bell base and a bell body. The size of the nearly rectangular solid block is as follows: the height is 115 mm, the width of the bell base is 100 mm, the height of the bell base is 30 mm, and the height of the bell body is 85 mm. The width of the shaped body is 45 mm, and the shape of the bell body The width of the top is 22 mm. The nearly rectangular solid block is capable of tolerating a mass of gravity of up to 80 kilograms without breaking or twisting, the mass having a shape and size similar to that of a human neck. The pillow is designed in such a way that when a person places the posterior side of the neck on the convex portion and places the head on the concave portion of the wavy top side, the cervical lordosis will Stay in the clinically normal range of 31 to 40 degrees.

The extremely convex portion of the top side establishes a raised solid region with the solid block. When the patient is lying in the supine position, the occipital region of his head is on the slightly concave portion of the top side and his neck is attached to the raised solid region due to its extremely convex shape. This elevated solid area is capable of producing a strong but safe reaction against gravity from the head and body. Obviously, the reaction force is placed on his cervical vertebra. In view of this, the elevated solid region is capable of treating cervical disease by gradually adjusting the straight or sloping cervical vertebrae back to their natural inward curvature. With this same mechanism, the elevated solid region can also treat cervical disc bulging by gradually pushing the disc back into its original position.

Since the patient can use the pillow at his own home without the need of a doctor, the treatment time per day is significantly increased, so the treatment period can be significantly shortened.

1, 2 and 3 show perspective views of a neck pillow 100 for treating cervical spondylosis, comprising a filler-loaded member 101 and a rectangular solid block 200. The filler-filled member 101 is made of an elastic material such as a foam material having a density of 30 to 40 kg/cm 3 , and the filler-containing member 101 includes a rectangular flat bottom side 102 and a vertical flat left side 104. a vertical flat right side 106, a non-angular front side 107 having a height of 9 cm to 12 cm, a thin back side 103, and a wavy top side 105 having a flat portion 105a connected to the front side 107 in the middle The portion 105b is slightly recessed, and the extremely convex portion 105c is connected to the back side 103. The height of the thinnest region of the pillow 100 is 5 to 7 cm.

The nearly rectangular solid block member 200 having a density of 30 to 35 kg/cm 3 made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam material is inserted along the back side 103 of the filler-containing member 101. The filler-containing member 101 is located below the extremely convex portion 105c of the top side 105 of the filler-containing member. The nearly rectangular solid block 200 includes two parts: a bell base 201 and a bell body 202, as shown in FIG. The size of the nearly rectangular solid block member 200 is as follows: the height is 115 mm, the width of the bell base 201 is 100 mm, the height of the bell base 201 is 30 mm, and the width of the bell-shaped body 202 is 45. The millimeter, and the width of the topmost portion of the bell-shaped body 202 is 22 mm. The connection The nearly rectangular solid block 200 is capable of tolerating a mass of gravity of up to 80 kilograms without breaking or twisting, the mass having a shape and size similar to that of a human neck. The pillow 100 is designed in such a manner that when a person places the back side of the neck on the protruding portion 105c and places the head on the concave portion 105b of the wavy top side 105, Cervical lordosis will stay in the clinically normal range of 31 to 40 degrees.

The extremely convex portion 105c of the top side 105 establishes a raised solid region 300 along with the solid block member 200. When the patient is lying in the supine position, the occipital region of his head is on the slightly concave portion 105b of the top side 105 and his neck is attached to the raised solid region 300, as shown in FIG. It is shown that due to its extremely convex shape, the elevated solid region 300 is capable of generating a strong but safe reaction force F3 against gravity F1 from the head and gravity F2 from the body. Obviously, the reaction force F3 is placed on his cervical vertebra. In view of this, the elevated solid region 300 is capable of treating cervical disease by gradually adjusting the straight or sloping cervical vertebrae back to their natural inward curvature. With this same mechanism, the elevated solid region 300 can also treat cervical disc protrusion by gradually pushing the disc back into its original position. In this case, the user needs to place his neck on the raised solid region 300 in such a manner that the raised disc is positioned just above the apex of the raised solid region 300.

Since the patient can use the pillow 100 at home in his own home without the need of a doctor, the treatment time per day is significantly increased, so the treatment period can be significantly shortened.
