Some types of neck braces.

In movies and TV, we often see people wearing neck braces.There are also white-collar workers who work at the desk for a long time in front of the computer during the epidemic. They sit still for a long time and their neck muscles are overwhelmed. They often wear a neck brace for protection…

It can be said that neck braces can be seen everywhere from celebrities to the general public. Most people wear neck braces under the advice of doctors due to cervical spondylosis to relieve the symptoms of cervical discomfort.

Inflatable neck brace

The inflatable neck brace is used to “stretch” the neck muscles by the principle of mechanics. It is also mainly used to relax the neck muscles. For patients with radiculopathy, it can also reduce the degree of nerve compression.

Rigid neck brace

The rigid neck brace has more rigid support structure than the previous two neck braces, which can provide strong support for the neck and maintain the cervical spine in a normal position and curvature.

After hospital cervical spine surgery or patients with cervical spine fractures, they will wear this kind of neck brace for a period of time until the cervical spine returns to normal stability. We often see that if an athlete is injured on the court, the doctor will temporarily wear a rigid neck brace for him, just for fear of injury to the cervical spine during transportation.

Wearing a cervical collar can temporarily brake and relieve certain symptoms, but this is only a stopgap measure. Do not rely on cervical collar fixation for a long time, otherwise it will cause muscle atrophy around the cervical spine, which will affect the stability of the cervical spine.
