Neck braces are aids used for supporting the neck and stabilizing the cervical spine after injury or surgery on these areas. They are wrapped around the neck to immobilize it and prevent unnecessary movements. They are meant to be worn all the time, even while sleeping, especially if the fracture is serious and has not yet been cured.
Types Of Neck Braces
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
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.
Choosing Neck Braces (Buying Tips)
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.
