FAQs
Do neck supports really work?
Neck supports are designed to provide short-term relief following injury or strain. They reduce the movement of the neck and the muscles there, helping your body to heal.

What are neck supports called?
Neck supports go by many different names. They can be referred to as neck braces, neck support collars, cervical collars, or simply neck collars. They all work in a similar way, but there may be slight differences in design from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Should I use a neck support collar for neck pain?

How long should I wear a neck support collar?
How long you should wear a neck support collar depends on the injury, but many physiotherapists will suggest a period of twelve weeks in order to ensure that your body has completed healed. As the neck is such a vital part of the body, it is better to provide support for longer to reduce the risk of complications.
What should I do if my neck brace is uncomfortable?
