Head & Neck

Neck collars (cervical neck collars) can be prescribed after whiplash or other neck or spinal injury. An orthopedic neck support can be key equipment in the recovery process. A head support like this reduces strain on the neck muscles and keeps the head in a neutral position. Depending on the specific design, a neck collar may be made from dense foam or a more rigid plastic. It is important that you seek medical advice before wearing this type of orthopedic aid for a significant length of time. They typically use Velcro to fasten around the back of the neck.
