Neck Braces and Cervical Collars that Offer Stability
National
Brace and Splint carries
a variety of neck support
options for individuals and medical facilities. A cervical collar is more commonly known as a neck collar or a neck brace
and is used to prevent injury and allow healing after a neck or spinal cord
injury. Professional grade cervical collars can be the difference between life
and death for emergency response workers helping people who have suffered
traumatic neck and/or head injuries. People who are recovering from such
injuries can also benefit from the support and stability offered by soft
cervical collars.
At National
Brace and Splint, patients can
find the perfect neck collar for their specific medical concerns as well as
their individual size and comfort preferences. The company also offers bulk
buying options for emergency response agencies, hospitals, and private medical
practices.
What a
Neck Brace Does
Cervical collars
serve a number of purposes after an injury. They can be used to provide support
and stability after a spinal cord surgery or a neck bone break. The restriction
of mobility provided by a neck brace helps keep the spine aligned and prevents
existing injuries from being exacerbated. In emergency response situations, if
a person's neck or head has been injured, a rigid cervical collar can prevent
the injury from spreading further and provide needed time to get the injured
person safely to an emergency room.
A neck brace can
also be used to help relieve pain and pressure after a neck strain, a muscle
pull, or whiplash. If you been in a car accident recently (one of the most common
causes of whiplash), a soft neck brace might be all you need to help relieve
the pain in your neck and regain the strength of your neck muscles. A neck
brace might also be an appropriate preventative measure if you're participating
in extreme sports like snowboarding, motocross racing, or speed boat racing.
Remember, neck
injuries can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening complications, so it's
important to have your neck and head examined thoroughly following a neck
injury.
Soft
Cervical Collars
National Brace and Splint offers
a number of soft cervical collars that are ideal for use after a mild neck
strain to help reduce swelling of the neck and mild joint pain. Soft cervical
collars offer a significant level of stability and immobilization that can help
neck injuries heal comfortably and quickly. By keeping the spine aligned and
limiting a person's ability to turn their head or bend their neck and head in
adverse directions, a soft cervical collar can protect patients from straining
existing injuries.
Soft cervical
collars are also helpful for protecting patients who are at high risk of
reinjuring or further injuring existing neck injuries. For example, a soft
cervical collar is a good choice for an older patient who suffers from
osteoporosis and has recently experienced a minor neck injury. Soft cervical
collars are designed to protect the spinal cord and the bones in the neck.
Finding the right cervical collar is essential after a neck injury because
damage to the spinal cord can result in paralysis or death.
Consult a
physician if you've experienced a neck injury to find out which cervical collar
makes the most sense for your injury. Browse National Brace and Splint's wide selection of soft neck braces to find an
individual neck brace or to buy professional quality neck braces in bulk for
your medical practice or rehabilitation hospital.
Rigid
Cervical Orthosis
A rigid cervical orthosis is a more advanced form of neck brace that is
used post-trauma, for acute pain in the neck, to treat severe arthritis, spinal
stenosis, and for post-operative immobilization. Rather than being made simply
of a soft band of flexible material, rigid cervical orthosis braces are
generally made of plastic and rubber and can usually be adjusted to perfectly
contour to an individual’s neck and head shape.
These more
advanced neck brace options provide a stronger level of support than soft
cervical neck braces. They keep the spine perfectly aligned, provide
post-operative support, and completely immobilized the neck and head to allow
healing and rest. National Brace and Splint has
a variety of rigid cervical orthosis braces that are ideal for EMTs and other
emergency response workers who might come across people who have suffered
traumatic injuries. The application of a rigid cervical orthosis immediately
following a neck or head injury can prevent further damage and, in many cases,
save the person's life. Speak to a customer service representative at National
