Use cervical collar rightly

Cervical support is a temporary fixation method in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. It can effectively control the angle of movement of the cervical spine and achieve the purpose of braking. It is generally used in the acute phase of cervical spondylosis to control excessive joint activity and reduce the further stimulation of nerve roots by joint friction, which is conducive to the relief of the disease and the absorption of aseptic inflammation. It is also used for stabilization and recovery after cervical dislocation reduction. 

Cervical support function: 

1. Fix the cervical spine in the required position. Control and correct the bad posture of the cervical spine to maintain the normal cervical spine.

2. Keep the cervical spine in a stable and stable state, thereby reducing the stimulation of cervical vertebras and the stimulation of blood vessels and nerve tissues in order to control the development of aseptic inflammation in the acute phase and help to eliminate and absorb inflammatory edema.

3. Maintain balance in the cervical spine and keep the intervertebral joints relatively stable. In the state of cervical spine instability, it can help prevent facet joint disorders and misalignment.

4. Local braking is beneficial to the stability of the cervical spine and the repair of the ligament of the joint capsule.

5. As a fixed and protective measure after surgery, it can help the healing of bone graft and the recovery of neck wounds.

6. For cervical disc herniation, cervical spondylotic radiculopathy, cervical spondylosis, and sympathetic cervical spondylosis, neck brace is performed to effectively control the onset and development of the disease, and relieve pain during the acute attack through braking Symptoms, to achieve the purpose of rest in the emergency period. The neck support is a temporary and transitional maintenance and braking measure. Once the required therapeutic purpose is achieved, it should be lifted in time and it should not be used for a long time. Long-term use of the cervical collar can cause neck and back muscle atrophy and neck stiffness. For those who wear for a long time, after the fixation, active neck function exercises and muscle exercises should be performed to restore muscle and joint tissues.
