Cervical Collars & Neck Supports

A collar rests the neck during a flare of strain or cervical spondylosis. The key is short, correct use — not relying on it for weeks. Here's how soft and firm collars, cervical pillows and traction differ, how to size them, how long to wear them safely, and how to wash them.

When a Collar Helps

How to Choose the Right Size

Collars are sized by neck circumference and height (shoulder-to-jaw). Match the brand chart so the head stays neutral.

We measure and fit you in-store.

How to Wear It Correctly

  1. Open the collar and place the chin rest under your chin first.
  2. Wrap the rest around the neck and fasten at the back/front.
  3. Keep the head in a neutral, forward-facing position.
  4. Wear for the short period advised — not continuously for weeks.
  5. Remove for prescribed neck exercises so muscles stay active.

Washing & Maintenance

  • Remove the foam from the cover if possible
  • Hand-wash the cover/foam gently in cold/lukewarm water
  • Squeeze (don't wring) and air-dry fully in shade
  • Keep it dry and clean against the skin to avoid irritation
  • No hot water, bleach or machine dryer
  • No direct sun (yellows and hardens the foam)
  • Don't wear it damp
  • Replace once the foam flattens or loses shape

When to see a doctor

See a doctor for neck pain after a fall or accident, pain with arm numbness/tingling or weakness, severe headache, or pain that isn't improving. Never self-treat a possible neck injury with a collar — get it assessed first.

Cervical Collar FAQs

How long should I wear a cervical collar?+

For limited periods, as advised — during a flare, not all day for weeks. Long use can stiffen and weaken neck muscles, so follow your doctor on hours and days.

Soft vs Philadelphia collar?+

A soft foam collar gives comfort and gentle rest for mild strain/spondylosis. A Philadelphia (rigid) collar gives firm immobilization after injury or as advised. Soft = comfort; rigid = immobilization.

Does it help cervical spondylosis?+

A soft collar can ease a flare by resting the neck briefly. It's supportive, not curative — combine with prescribed exercises and posture care, used only short-term.

How do I size it?+

By neck circumference and height (shoulder-to-jaw). The chin should rest comfortably with the head neutral. We measure and fit in-store.
