The duration of sleep for adults should be from 7 to 9 hours, for the elderly after 65 years — from 7 to 8 hours.

You can smear all the creams in the world on your neck, use the latest technologies, even stab it with fillers, but everything will be in vain if the condition of the cervical spine worsens. All of these actions, if they help, then only for a short time!

What to do?
Pull!
Because bones follow muscles. A long incorrect position of the body spasms the muscles. Only stretching will save you from muscle spasm.

Change habits.
There is nowhere without it, otherwise the condition of the neck will stand still at best, and will not improve.
