Small Investments for Long Term Relief

Harriet Carter Cervical Gel Collar
(www.harrietcarter.com)
            Can be used hot or cold
            Velcro strap so it stays put
            Very soothing


Memory Foam Pillow
I purchased mine from JC Penny
       Supports the neck while sleeping
       Can be used for side and stomache
          sleepers too, in different positions
       Eliminated waking up with a
          stiff neck 





Massaging Shower Head
Mine is from Target
      5 settings, from gentle to jet
      Soothes sore muscles
      Stimulates endorphins for
         pain relief



Yes, it is Supposed to be
     a Dog Toy
 Purchased at PetSmart
       Place at the base of
           the neck while lying
           on a hard surface
       Stretches neck and
            head muscles
       Feels so good on trigger
            points under skull  



Massage Pillow
Homedics from BB&B
      Heat function for
           sore muscles
      Helps when I cannot
           get a massage from
           someone ASAP





Magnesium and Vitamin D
     Two supplements recommended
          highly by my Neurologist
          for helping chronic headaches
     Consult your doctor when unsure
          about supplements   

These are a few of my favorite things!
I hope you find as much relief from
them as I do!

  1. Another idea similar to the dog toy for relieving pressure points is to buy 2 tennis balls, and cut one leg off of an old pair of nylons, and tie a hold in the end. Place one tennis ball on either side of your spine while you lay on the floor, starting with your lower back muscles, and slowly moving your way up the spinal muscles. Your body weight and gravity will help relax the trigger points :)
