Cervical braces, also known as neck braces or cervical collars, are medical devices designed to support and stabilize the neck. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as cervical spine injuries, whiplash, or herniated discs. By limiting neck movement, these braces help reduce pain and promote healing. There are different types of cervical braces, including soft collars and rigid collars. Soft collars provide gentle support, while rigid collars offer more stability for severe injuries. Doctors often recommend cervical braces as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include physical therapy and medication.
