A soft cervical collar is a medical device used to provide support and limit movement of the neck, typically used after minor neck injuries, such as whiplash, or for neck pain caused by strain or muscle tension. Made from soft, padded foam material, the collar is designed to comfortably fit around the neck, providing gentle support while allowing limited movement.
The collar helps relieve pressure on the cervical spine, promotes healing, and reduces discomfort by stabilizing the neck in a neutral position. Soft cervical collars are often used in recovery from mild neck injuries, for short-term pain relief, or as part of rehabilitation. They are commonly used in hospitals, physical therapy, and home care settings.
