Guide to Neck Braces

view recommended products

Kinds of Neck Braces include the following:

Soft neck braces

• Soft neck braces are made of thick rubber foam covered in cotton.
• They are very comfortable to wear but do not offer much support.
• They support the neck and reduce pain caused by the injury.
• They are adjustable.

• Rigid neck braces are often made of solid, molded plastic.
• They are made with removable padded liners fastened by Velcro closure systems.
• They provide greater support and stability than the soft neck braces.
• They limit neck movements when recovering from surgery or fracture.
• They are available in different styles including the Miami J collar and the Philadelphia collar.

Adjustability: Choose an adjustable neck brace that allows you to set it according to your neck size or preference.

Closure system: Choose a neck brace with a secure closure system to keep it in place and prevent it from falling off your neck.
