Frequently Asked Questions On Cervical Collars

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.
