About Cervical Collar With Support
A soft collar, typically a cervical collar, is a soft foam or fabric device that provides comfort and mild support for the neck, helping to stabilize the cervical spine, relieve pain from conditions like strain or whiplash, and act as a reminder to limit neck movement. Unlike rigid collars, it offers controlled immobilization rather than complete stillness, promoting muscle relaxation and healing. Key features include soft, breathable foam, a comfortable cotton cover, a chin support, and a hook-and-loop closure for a customizable fit.
