Head & Neck

Neck collars (cervical neck collars) are often used after whiplash or other neck or spinal injury. An orthopaedic neck support can be key equipment in the recovery process. A head support like this reduces strain on the neck muscles and keeps the head in a neutral position. Depending on the specific design, a neck collar may be made from dense foam or a more rigid plastic. It is important that you seek medical advice before wearing this type of orthopaedic aid for a significant length of time. A neck support typically uses Velcro to fasten and most products are available in a range of sizes.
