The invention is a head and neck support apparatus comprised of a central
portion with three primary sections 1) a shoulder ramp, 2) an inclined
Atlanto-Axial support (AXS) section, and 3) a substantially level head
support section. The apparatus also has side support portions, in several
embodiments, so a user may lay in a lateral position. The AXS section is
designed to support the soft tissue between the user's atlanto and axis
at 0 to 20 degrees.
