A member asked:
I have moderate neck pain(due to whiplash), can you give me usage instructions for hard collar support? i am using it since 8days.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck trauma : Remove it, hard collar should be removed as soon as it is determined that you do not have ligamentous instability, disc herniation, or fracture. If there's no plan for surgery then no hard collar. You should be started on physical therapy. early physical therapy and range of motion will improve range of motion and your overall outcome and speed the recovery.
