Supporting neck with a towel

This is a well-known treatment in the spinal unit that treated me. It's known as a "neck roll". New lesions with neck traction (I'm going back to the days before the Halo) always had a neck roll. It makes the neck feel far more comfortable than a pillow and puts the spine in the most natural position.

I got a cervical collar from my chiropractor which I wear some nights when my shoulder and neck pain is acting up. Keeps my neck in good alignment and I feel much better in the morning. I am sure you can find them on Amazon and how to measure your neck online. I do have a cervical pillow but the collar keeps my neck in good alignment all night.
