Function of neck brace

The cervical collar is widely used in medical and our daily life. It's necessary to learn more about it. The main functions of the neck brace are as follows:

1. Restrict cervical spine activities, reduce repeated friction and adverse stimulation to the compressed spinal cord and nerves, and help the edema and inflammation of the spinal cord, nerve roots, joint capsules, muscles and other tissues to resolve.

2. It can enlarge the intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, reduce or even relieve the stimulation and compression of nerve roots.

3. Relieve muscle spasm, restore the balance of the cervical spine, reduce the pressure of the intervertebral disc, and buffer the pressure of the intervertebral disc to the surroundings.

4. Retract the small joint space, relieve the synovial incarceration, and restore the normal sequence and relationship between the cervical vertebrae.

5. Straighten the vertebral artery twisted between the transverse foramen and improve the blood oxygen supply of the vertebral artery.

6. The longitudinal diameter of the cervical spinal canal is elongated, the spinal cord is stretched, the ligament folds are flattened, and the volume of the spinal canal is relatively increased.
