Neck Collar Usement

Immediately after injury, the neck support brake: after bed injury treatment, you do not need to use the neck support early, but if you get up, you must apply the neck support. The neck brace is usually at least 1 week, and can be used intermittently near the first weekend, that is, the neck brace is removed for a short time. Teach the patient to “receive the chin” and do gentle rotation activities, but avoid bending and stretching. Steps are taken to remove the neck support. 2 weeks after the injury, it is only worn when driving or riding a car, strenuous activity, fatigue or forced movement is difficult to maintain the neck posture.

Wearing a neck brace protects the neck from unsuitable movements and postures, as well as warms, comforts and muscles. However, for any reason, when the patient is not feeling well, or is unwilling to wear a neck brace due to some psychological effects, it is not appropriate to insist on using it, otherwise the expected effect will not be achieved.

Patients with cervical spondylosis wear neck brace: mainly for prevention, support and traction. When using the inflatable neck brace for traction, wear it several times a day for 20 to 30 minutes. For prevention, it is mainly worn during strenuous activities and when riding.  First, in order to take a rest, the cervical spine maintains the correct posture and prevents the "whiplash" injury during emergency braking; on the other hand, it may increase the symptoms of spinal health, nerve root and vertebral artery compression if accidental activity is prevented.
