Everything about Cervical Collar totally explained

A cervical collar (also neck brace) is an orthopedic piece of medical equipment used to support a patient's spinal cord and head. A cervical collar can help realign one's spinal cord and relieve pain, although it should only be worn for as long as the doctor states, since collars are usually not worn for long periods of time. After cervical spinal fusion, which can include joining metal plates or removing spinal disc from the vertebrae, a patient might need a cervical collar to support their neck during recovery.
   Another use of the cervical collar is for strains or sprains. When a patient might have a neck injury and require examination, that'll be carried off in an ambulance with a collar attached. If pain is persistent, the collar might be required to remain attached to help in the healing process.
   Collars are sized for persons of all ages and size, and they vary in color. They also can be hard or soft, although even hard ones will be layered with foam to provide comfort during healing, while soft ones are to benefit one in pain. Hospital ambulances usually always carry an array of collars.
