What is a Neck Brace?

A neck brace, also known as a cervical collar, is a medical device used to provide support and immobilization to the neck and cervical spine. It is typically made of rigid or semi-rigid materials and is worn around the neck to restrict movement and provide stability to the cervical spine. These braces are commonly used in the management of neck injuries, such as sprains, strains, fractures, and whiplash-associated with trauma or other medical conditions that require neck immobilization.

At HPFY, you will get various types of cervical collars, including hard collars made of rigid plastic or foam, soft collars made of padded fabric, and inflatable collars that can be adjusted for customized support. The type of neck brace prescribed will depend on the specific condition being treated and the severity of the injury.

When do we use Neck Brace?

Some conditions that call for the use of a neck support brace include:

Types Of Cervical Collars

Soft Cervical Collar

Soft neck collars are usually made from materials such as felt, foam, or rubber. They are cut to mold around the neck and jaw of the patient, the size being adjustable. They fit snugly around your neck and sit below your jaw. The doctors recommend it for temporary relief from moderate neck pain. However, these collars do not provide adequate immobilization. It only limits flexion and extension of the neck. Soft collars are mainly recommended for whiplash injuries. Using a soft brace for sleeping will support your neck, allow the chin to rest on the collar, and restrict unintentional head movement during sleep.

Rigid and Semi-Rigid Collar

Hard collars look similar to soft collars. They are made out of plexiglass, which allows them easy to apply and keep clean. Hard cervical collars restrict movement in flexion and extension and relieve pain from various conditions, like cervical spondylosis, severe neck pain, spinal fractures, and trauma injuries.

How to wear a Neck Brace?

  1. Choose the right size and type of cervical neck collar that fits comfortably around your neck without being too tight or too loose.
  2. Sit or stand in a comfortable and upright position before putting on the neck collar brace.
  3. Adjust the straps or fasteners of the brace according to the manufacturer's instructions or as guided by your healthcare professional. Straps should be snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable breathing and swallowing.
  4. Follow the prescribed range of motion restrictions provided by your healthcare professional. Some braces may allow for limited neck movement, while others may restrict all neck motion.
  5. Ensure that the neck collar is comfortable to wear. It should not cause excessive pain, numbness, tingling, or skin irritation. If you experience any discomfort, notify your healthcare professional and adjust the brace accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

A neck brace or cervical collar is a medical device that is used to support a persons neck in case of traumatic head and neck injuries. These braces are used to treat chronic medical conditions.

It is always recommended to wear the neck brace all the time, even during sleep or as by the surgeon. It is necessary to wear the brace until your spine has healed or fused, which may take as short as 4 weeks or as long as 4 to 6 months.

A soft cervical collar can be worn by following the steps below:

  • Look straight such that the chin is parallel to the floor.
  • Fit the collar snugly around your neck.
  • Attach neck brace fasteners at the back of your neck.
  • Make sure that you can breathe easily.
  • If the collar feels very tight, remove it and put it on again.

Hard cervical collars are designed to be used for spine problems or injuries. These collars are intended to limit the forward and backward movement more than the soft ones. Hard collars are used to support a person's neck right after a trauma or injury.

Soft Neck Brace is fairly flexible and is the least limiting, it can be used for minor injuries or after healing has allowed the neck injury to stabilize.
