Use of right wedge cushion depends on your ailment
Wedge cushions for a variety of ailments
Chiropractors, pain specialists, and physical therapists often use wedge cushions for providing specific therapeutic relief to common troubled areas, such as the back. They often will advise their clients to use them at home in order to promote and maintain recovery gained during treatments and physical therapies. There are several types of wedge cushions, but the most popular are the posture wedge, knee wedge, and bed wedge.
Bed wedges often feature an adjustable neck support and two reclining positions (one for reading or watching television and another for sleeping). They either elevate the upper body or the legs. They are ideal for individuals who suffer from reflux disorders and hiatal hernias. The elevated sleeping positions help to alleviate pain and discomfort often associated with acid reflux, evening heartburn, constricted airways, sinus irritation, and snoring. With just the proper elevation to help relieve the agony, bed wedges promote better sleep. Plus, they’re partner-friendly because they are designed for one person. Patterned for comfort, they fit any size bed while leaving plenty of room for your partner.
Need to increase leg circulation? Looking for relief for swollen legs? Consider the knee wedge. It’s frequently recommended by specialists to increase circulation in the legs and feet while relieving tension in the lower back by flexing the lower back. The knee wedge keeps users in a pressure-neutral position and provides relief for swollen legs. It helps to keep your legs from numbing and unnecessary pressure while lying down, which eases your mind into a zone of relaxation and comfort. This type of wedge cushion is ideal for post surgery, painful varicose veins, and phlebitis. It’s also great for sore knees because it elevates the lower body to reduce swelling. Finally, no more tower of pillows in order to raise your knees.
Of all the wedge cushions, the most popular type is the posture wedge. It’s a great pain and ache eliminator for sitters. Posture wedges are used to promote proper posture while sitting. Poor sitting posture will increase the likelihood of chronic lower back pains and spinal ailments. Light and portable, using a posture wedge while driving or typing at the computer will ensure proper ergonomic seating and decrease unnecessary pressure on the lower back, as well as the neck, from drooping shoulders.
So it isn’t necessary to wait for aches and pains to start before using a wedge cushion. Make it a part of your everyday life if prevention is your goal.
