Soft Cervical Collar

A soft cervical collar is a device that helps limit the movement of your neck. The collar is made of soft foam, wraps around your neck, and fastens in the back. You may need to use a soft cervical collar if you have a neck injury or arthritis. Soft Cervical Collar from Physio Shop is designed for gentle neck support and help relieve pain caused by muscle strain, whiplash, cervical spondylosis, or general neck stiffness. Made from high-quality, breathable foam with a soft fabric cover, this collar ensures comfort during extended wear while limiting neck movement to promote healing. Lightweight and easy to wear, it’s ideal for both short-term injury support and long-term posture management.

Benefits:

• Neck Support & Stability: Helps reduce pressure on the cervical spine by limiting movement.

• Pain Relief: Alleviates neck pain from injuries, posture issues, or degenerative conditions.

• Comfortable Design: Soft foam padding with a skin-friendly fabric lining for all-day comfort.

• Improves Posture: Encourages proper neck alignment during rest or recovery.

• Easy to Wear: Adjustable hook-and-loop closure ensures a secure and customized fit.

How to Use:

1. Position the collar around the neck, aligning the chin with the front contour.

2. Secure the strap at the back with the Velcro closure, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit.

3. Ensure the collar supports the jaw and neck without restricting breathing or swallowing.

4. Wear as recommended by a healthcare professional—typically during rest or throughout the day.

Precautions for Patients:

• Use only under the guidance of a doctor or physiotherapist, especially for long-term wear.

• Do not overtighten—ensure proper blood flow and breathing.

• Remove the collar periodically to check for skin irritation or pressure sores.

• Not intended for sleeping unless directed by a healthcare provider.

• Clean regularly by hand-washing the cover in mild soap and air drying.

How do I use a soft cervical collar?

Ask how long you should wear your soft cervical collar. As your pain gets better, you may be able to remove the collar for a short time each day. This time will increase until you no longer need the collar. Do the following to put on your soft cervical collar:

• Look straight ahead and keep your chin parallel to the floor.
• Fit the collar snugly around your neck.
• Attach the fasteners at the back of your neck.
• Make sure that you can breathe comfortably.
• If the collar feels too tight, remove it and put it on again.
• Put cotton padding between the collar and your skin if the collar irritates your skin.

How can I prevent more injury and pain?

• Limit activity. This may help decrease your pain and swelling. Ask your healthcare provider when you can return to your normal daily activities.
• Support your neck while you sleep. You may need to sleep without a pillow if you sleep with your collar on. Make sure your pillow is comfortable and supports your head and neck if you sleep without a collar. You may need a special neck pillow. You may be more comfortable on a firm mattress.
• Support your neck and back if you sit most of the day. Keep your computer monitor at eye level. Place documents you are reading into a holder at eye level. Use a headset when you talk on the telephone.
