How Effective is The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow For Curing My Neck & Back Pain?

Chronic neck and back pain can be extremely frustrating. Most traditional orthopedic or regular pillows are usually ineffective in curing pain. The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow properly supports your spine while releasing muscle and nerve tension surrounding the spine as well as subtle decompression. This simple solution can cure most neck and back pain. However, The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow does have certain limitations, especially for curing pain due to certain diseases and permanent injuries. While it cannot cure all spinal pain, it can cure most spinal pain and provide some relief even if it doesn’t cure the pain completely. If the DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow does not allow you to obtain the relief you are seeking, it is recommended to see your physician, an orthopedic specialist and/or a pain doctor. Given the cost and effectiveness, it is recommended to try the DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow first, before electing for surgery or any invasive procedures. Be sure to sleep on the pillow, for at least a few hours a night, for 3–4 weeks to give it enough time to heal your body.

How Should I use the pillow for acid reflux and sleep apnea?

For best results, put one or two pillows underneath the head portion of The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow to create a 15–20 degree incline. The hard base within the pillow ensures your body stays in the correct position while you sleep. An increased incline may not be necessary, but if the symptoms are severe, an incline is usually required to alleviate both acid reflux and sleep apnea.

Can The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow help with posture?

Yes! The design and shape of The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow is aimed at spinal health, relieving back and neck pain, and improving posture. The structural foam panels inside the pillow will allow for improved spine health of the three distinct spinal curves in the neck (cervical), midback (thoracic) and low back (lumbar). Bad posture causes the spine’s natural curve to straighten, creating significant stress on the joints, ligaments, and muscles not only in the spine but the entire body.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, please contact us regarding international shipping.

How big is the pillow? How much does it weigh?

The pillow is approximately 12 inches wide and 36 inches long and weighs 5-6 pounds / 2.5 kilos.

When will I start to feel relief from my pain?

Results are usually noticeable fairly quickly for most people. If used as directed, by lying on the pillow before going to bed at night, before getting out of bed in the morning, and throughout the day for fifteen minutes each. The pillow can start to provide noticeable relief for most neck and back pain within a few days. However, for some people it may take additional time on the pillow to notice reduced tension and pain relief. A full recovery could take a few days or weeks for minor pain. For severe cases, it may take several months to obtain a full recovery and allow enough time for the disks to re-hydrate and heal.

Does the pillow help snoring/sleep apnea?

Sleeping at an incline with proper positioning of your jaw, throat, and tongue is often recommended to help decrease snoring and assist with positional sleep apnea. The patented design of the DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow allows you to sleep comfortably on your back and even your side. The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow does not replace a CPAP machine, but can be used in conjunction with it. Talk to your doctor before use.

Can I use the pillow after a car accident?

Yes, but first discuss using the pillow with your doctor before use.

Can I sleep all night on the pillow?

Yes!

Are There Different Sizes?

Currently, we have a one-size fits all. However, a smaller size will be available soon.

Can I Wash or Replace the Cover?

Yes, the pillow cover is removable via a zipper, can be washed, and replacement covers are available.

Can I use The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow along with other therapies, such as chiropractic, acupuncture and physical therapy?

Yes! It is recommended to integrate The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow with the above therapies. Clinical trials show that using the pillow before any chiropractic adjustment can make it easier, more effective and more comfortable for spinal adjustment as tension is released, and the spine is slightly decompressed. In addition, The DaVinci Orthopedic Pillow can be used after therapy to minimize tension, allowing maximum effectiveness from the adjustment.

Is the pillow made in the US?

Yes, it is made and shipped from the USA.
