Neck

Also known as a neck brace or a neck collar, a cervical collar is a device used to support body parts like the neck, head, shoulder, and spinal cord. They are used in treating various pains, strains, and injuries on the neck and the spinal cord. 

Another use of the cervical collar is post-surgery protection to ensure proper healing, keeping the neck bone in line as it heals. It can also be used as a precautionary measure after a serious accident until the extent of injuries is established.

Doctors provide precise instructions whenever they recommend the use of the cervical collar. In most cases, they will guide the patient to wear it snug enough so that the head does not move around. The lower edge of the brace should rest on the body while the wall should be kept from any damage.
