Answers:
trying using the neck support pillow on top of a regular pillow!.!. it may just be too low in order to support your neck!.!.!. I have problems with my neck and cannot sleep on just one pillow, will have the same symptoms you describe if I do!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I just needed to defend chiropractors since the other guy had so much incorrect info!. Very little of what he said has in scientific factual basis!. And yes chiropractic can change things permanently, but best is to find a chiropractor who not only adjust but also uses a soft tissue technique!. Bone are connected to muscles and muscles are connected to bone, you have to treat both to get any permanent change!. Chiropractors are the only ones who can adjust, moving a specific bone!. Osteopaths can manipulate but there manipulations are not specific adjustments!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You should try the chiro anyway even if it works!. You would be surprised what the chiropractor can do just for maintenance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Both can help but Acupuncture will do more!.
pl see what suits you!.
If you are in cold country use all warm things!.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm!.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help!.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try!.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief!.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture!.
There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE!. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases!. Hence they become chronic!.
Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes!.
None of them can be treated with medicine!.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it!.
Acupuncture is the best treatment!.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see!.
Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds!.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more!.
Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole!.
Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there!.
But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue!. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong!.
If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds!.
For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below!.
It may disappear naturally too!.

You should not go to the chiropractor instead see a physical therapist & an orthopedist and also ask your primary care physician what he thinks of you going to a chiro first!. Trust me he wont think much of him!.
Here is the truth about what they do!. A chiropractor can do spinal manipulations to relieve stress on spinal nerves caused by things like muscle tension or a slight misalignment of the discs!. The manipulation is not a permanent change of anything though, and no - they can't permanently change the natural shape or curvature of a spine!. An orthopedist can evaluate the situation and determine if a scoliosis is actually present, and if a brace would be of help!. A brace has to be individually fitted though- it's not a one size fits all proposition!. A chiropractor can be helpful in musculo-skeletal aches and pains, through manipulation and massage- but aside from that it's all smoke and mirrors!. If you have back pain from the misalignment, they can help relieve that!. But nothing they do is going to be a permanent fix!. Spines don't work that way!. To change a spine takes surgery and braces!. Most chiropractors are quacks and want to take a full body X-ray and have you going to them for a long time!. In my opinion they are just as good a back rub!. But to each his or her own!. Chiropractors do not have a medical degree nor are they FDA approved!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
