How to Fit the Universal Two Piece Neck Brace
- The neck brace should be snug enough that you can't move your head, and your chin should not slide inside or stick out over the collar

- The neck brace should decrease motion but not cause discomfort; if the neck brace is causing discomfort then loosen it slightly
How Does the Cervical Collar Brace Prevent Injury?
A cervical collar neck brace helps to prevent injury after surgery by limiting rotation, as well as side-to-side or back-and-forth movements. Cervical collars are also used to reduce pressure on the nerves in the neck which is extremely useful for the treatment of conditions such as cervical radiculopathy.
How Effective Is This Neck Brace for Treating Whiplash?
In a study done by Harvard Medical School, rigid cervical collars are stated to have a well-established role in the acute management of trauma patients to prevent instability of the cervical spine. They also can play a role in the conservative treatment of certain types of cervical fractures such as nondisplaced axis fractures and C2 body fractures.
