Neck Supports & Neck Braces Buyer's Guide

Neck trauma, injury, or conditions such as whiplash, a stiff neck, slipped disc or neck arthritis cause pain and/or neck muscle spasms or stiffness. Neck Supports and Braces are designed to restrict the movement of your neck and support the weight of your head, to relieve these painful symptoms. This Buyer's Guide will help you to choose the best support to prevent and relieve your neck pain.

Neck Collars

For the most serious neck trauma and injuries, when you need to immobilise the neck completely to prevent neck pain and neck muscle spasms, a lightweight, but firm plastic collar is the ideal choice. Lined with ultra-comfortable foam, making them suitable for long-term use, these collars fit snugly between the chest and the chin to take the whole weight of your head, totally removing any pressure on your neck.

Pillows and Mattresses

If you suffer from neck pain conditions such as whiplash, slipped disc, herniated disc (slipped disc), degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, neck muscle strain, spinal stenosis, neck arthritis, or you have undergone neck surgery, it is important that your spine is supported when you are in bed. Memory foam is a modern material that moulds to the shape of your body and always returns to its original shape when pressure is removed. While you are asleep, memory foam mattresses and mattress toppers provide constant support to your neck and spine, maintaining its natural curve, thus preventing and relieving pain in the neck and back. As a memory foam pillow does not squash flat, it gives the head constant support and ensures correct spinal alignment, taking away strain and tension from the muscles of the upper back, preventing back and neck pain.
