ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic pillow for relieving various types of low back pain. The pillow comprises two hemispherical end sections joined by an elongated midsection. The midsection is a substantially flat lumbar support portion with sloping surfaces extending to each end section, to provide a pillow that is substantially concave in shape. In use, when sleeping on one's side, the pillow is placed generally transverse to the length of the body under the side. The midsection provides support and alignment for the lumbar spine, thereby relieving pain associated with sagging of the spine. Further, by placing one hemisphere close to the back or hip, the pillow will wrap around the hip area and place pressure on the sacro-iliac joint, for pain relief in that particular area of the body. The pillow can also be placed transverse to the body under the stomach when one sleeps on his or her stomach, again to support and align the lumbar spine. The hemispherical end pads also serve to confine the sleeping person on the pillow and keep the person from rolling out of the pillow.
