Under Neck Aids, we offer a variety of Cervical Collars and Pillows.

Cervical Collars are orthopaedic devices used to support or immobilize a patient’s neck and head.Cervical Pillows are designed to provide optimal support to the neck and reduce neck pain.

 

Immobilisation is required in the following situations Neck pain, as a result of poor posture, whether it’s leaning onto your computer at work, hunching over your workbench at home, or sleeping in an awkward position Moving a patient after a traumatic head or neck injury Cervical Collars restrict the following motions of the neck Flexion Extension Lateral Flexion Rotation

 

 

Soft cervical collars are the least restrictive, allowing the closest to the normal range of motion. Hard collars restrict the head rotation and side-to-side movement more than softer collars. And the cervical immobilizers are prescribed for cervical spine stabilization following either trauma, surgery, or fractures/dislocation.
