Cervical Support

Cervical support can be applied in the acute stage of radicular or vertebral artery type, with severe radicular pain or dizziness symptoms; patients with severe neck, shoulder and arm symptoms after trauma; patients with vertebrae who are not stable after manual treatment; Some cervical spinal canal patients were significantly narrowed and patients after surgery. For other diseases of the cervical spine, such as cervical spine fractures, cervical root spondylolisthesis, cervical spinal tuberculosis, etc., cervical care can also be used.

To choose the appropriate model of neck support, it is recommended that the medical staff or related professionals choose according to the patient's neck circumference and neck height. The neck support is generally divided into two pieces, the front piece is shorter, the back piece is longer, and a tie is connected in the middle. Carefully place the patient's neck in the "median position" (that is, the line connecting the head to the corner of the mouth and the earlobe and The ground is parallel, and the tip of the nose is in line with the navel.) Carefully insert the posterior neck support into the back of the neck. Slowly fit the anterior neck support mandible pad to the lower jaw, so that the lower jaw is close to the support of the lower jaw of the neck support. The front and back tablets are adhered by adhesive bonding, and the neck support is carefully fixed, and the wearing position and elasticity are checked carefully.

Keep the neck dry and hygienic, and avoid sweat, tears, and blood that cause skin wetness and friction to cause damage to the skin;

The neck support should be moderately tight. Too tight is not conducive to treatment and is uncomfortable to wear. Too loose is not effective.

Pay attention to preventing pressure ulcers, especially the mandible, posterior pillow, auricle, and posterior part. A small towel or other cotton can be used for cushioning the pressured part;    Cervical collar should be balanced and turned over during wearing, and neck flexion, extension and excessive rotation should be avoided;

Neck collar should be kept in the middle of the neck during wearing, and should be worn as required, otherwise it can not achieve the expected results, wearing time according to the requirements of the clinician.
