(ARA) - Do you often wake up feeling stiff and sore? How about with numbness and tingling in your arms and hands? Or with a tension headache? Craig Mell of Chanhassen, Minn., used to experience those problems and more pretty much every day.

One morning after waking up tired and cranky, and in excruciating pain, Mell decided it was time to visit a chiropractor. During the visit, Dr. Tom Schmidt examined Craig and made a recommendation that improved his situation practically overnight. He recommended that Mell start sleeping on a Tri-Core cervical orthopedic pillow.

Unlike standard pillows, which are typically the same dimensions throughout, the Tri- Core pillow features a trapezoid-shaped center and raised side sections. The unique center of the pillow is designed to cradle the head and provide the maximum support for the neck, whether the user is sleeping on his back or side. "The design also helps relieve spasms and alleviates minor tension since it re-establishes the natural cervical curve of the neck while the person is at rest," explains Dr. Schmidt.

The Tri-Core Fiber Support pillow also comes in Mid-Core and Petite-Core sizes for smaller adults and children. They are available in many doctor's offices throughout the country, or you can purchase one direct from the manufacturer at www.CoreProducts.com.
