Inflatable cervical collar

Inflatable pillow support is an auxiliary treatment appliance for cervical spondylosis. It can properly fix the cervical spine, relax the neck muscles, and have a certain traction effect on the cervical spine. But this seemingly convenient treatment "artifact" may not be suitable for everyone.

The principle of inflatable neck brace

Stretching the neck up and down through the air cushion relieves the tension of the surrounding muscles and relaxes the neck muscles.

Therefore, it is only suitable to use an inflatable neck brace when the neck muscles are tight and cause discomfort in the neck.

Not suitable for patients with cervical degeneration

For people with cervical degenerative disease, if the force when using the inflatable neck brace is too large, the already formed stable structure of the neck will be destroyed.

When this kind of degeneration has caused cervical spinal canal stenosis, the originally stable physiological structure is damaged by improper traction. It is extremely likely that the cervical spinal cord will be injured, and the upper limbs will feel abnormal and muscle strength.

People who want to wear an inflatable neck collar to alleviate neck pain should first consult a specialist. The specialist will evaluate the actual situation to see if you are suitable for wearing an inflatable neck brace and what issues should be paid attention to when wearing it.

The inflatable neck brace is to stretch the neck muscles by the principle of mechanics, so you must master the "degree" when using the inflatable neck brace, and the amount of inflation should not be too large.

If you feel dizzy on your head, numbness in your upper limbs, or tightness in your neck during traction, you must stop using it immediately.
