Notice this when use the cervical collar

Application of the neck support brace

Limit cervical vertebra activity, reduce repeated friction and bad stimulation to the compressed essence and nerve roots, and help the edema and inflammation of the spinal cord, nerve roots, joint capsules, muscles and other tissues to resolve.

Increase the intervertebral space and intervertebral foramen, reduce or even relieve the stimulation and compression of the nerve roots.

Relieve muscle spasm, restore balance of the cervical spine, reduce intervertebral disc pressure, and cushion the pressure of the disc to the surrounding area.

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

Extend the vertebral artery that is twisted between the transverse holes to improve the blood oxygen supply of the vertebral artery.

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.

Maintenance of the neck support: use a soft brush, warm water or cold water and detergent to clean the neck support, dry it with hair, let it dry in a cool place, do not blow dry with a hair dryer or dry under the sun, no deformation .

Continue to wear the rigid cervical collar for 3 months after discharge, avoid strenuous exercise in the neck, continue the limb function training, and stop doing some activities of excessive cervical vertebrae.

The neck braces can be worn during the day and removed at rest. Long-term application of the neck stabilizer will cause neck and back muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, so wear time can not be too long, after the symptoms gradually reduced, it should be removed in time to strengthen muscle exercise.

Before stopping the use of the neck support, you must go to the hospital for a review and then decide to stop using it.
