I decided to purchase this pillow as part of my home improvement regimen - fixing my spine. After years of wear and tear, my spine gradually deteriorated and caused a lot of pain. Years of walking on hard surfaces resulted in constant pain in my right lower back, hip, pelvis and knee. My neck was constantly sore and stiff from sitting at the computer in the office, and I don't know what was causing my thoracic spine problems, but it was also stiff and painful. I also had occasional headaches. I went to a chiropractor who said I had multiple subluxations (misalignments) in my spine and would cost me $4,000 to repair. That was out of the question - too much money, plus I was afraid someone would manipulate my spine. Over the years I've tried different things: exercise, yoga, foam rollers, inversion table, all kinds of stretches and a little massage. This brought temporary relief, and then the problems returned. What really struck me was that the fingers on my right hand started to get numb, especially on weekdays when I kept my hand on the computer mouse all day. So I started sleeping on the floor and it helped my lower back a lot. . Then I got this pillow. The first few runs didn't go well. My neck adjusted and with that came more pain and even some numbness in the lower part of my skull. I stopped for a few days and then tried again. Every time I tried it got better. I covered the pillow with a towel. I also found that with each new application there was less or no pain. So I started using the pillow not just for the neck but for the entire spine, just slowly mowing down the spine to the tailbone - resting a little on each area and then moving further down. Here too, after initial discomfort, things got better. Now I use it almost every day and I feel much better. The pain has greatly decreased, there is a feeling of relaxation, as well as more energy and well-being, which motivates me to use it more. Finger numbness is gone. I find it will help me a lot with long-term use. I think the pillow is great trigger point therapy. It doesn't take long to go through the routine either. I'm so glad I have this pillow and I'm writing this review to encourage more people who are willing to take control of their health and do something about it. I know if I went to the doctors they would give me all sorts of meds and scans and the verdict would be some kind of throat surgery. I'll stick with the pillow, it goes anywhere. I'll post an update on how things went. Also, I would like to add that the pillow is of very good quality and well made.
