Here you will find soft and comfortable neck collars that provide gentle support and relief for neck pain. They are suitable for temporary use, for example, in cases of stiff neck, muscle tension, whiplash, and osteoarthritis.
There are several reasons to consider a soft neck support, as it can offer preventive, soothing, and healing benefits. Some of the most common reasons include:
- **Pain Relief**
If you suffer from pain in your neck muscles or joints, a quality neck collar can provide effective relief and help ease your discomfort. By supporting the head's weight, the collar relieves strain on the neck, making it easier for tissues to heal and recover.
- **Injury Prevention**
After an accident or trauma to the neck or back, a neck collar can help prevent further injury. For example, if you are being evaluated for whiplash, wearing a neck collar can reduce the risk of aggravating existing injuries by limiting movement.
For more serious situations, such as recovering from surgery or a cervical fracture, there are also rigid plastic neck collars, which act like a corset for the neck. These are firm, molded supports. If you need specialized treatment, you can also have a custom neck collar made by an orthotist.
## What to Consider When Choosing a Neck Collar
When selecting a neck collar, it's important to assess your individual needs. Always follow advice from your doctor or physiotherapist to ensure you pick the right type of support.
At Seniorshop, you'll find a carefully chosen range of popular soft neck collars—including contoured and straight models. If you're unsure which style is best for you, here's a brief overview:
- **Contoured Neck Collar**
This type is shaped to follow the natural curve of your neck, offering a comfortable, tailored fit. The curved design helps it sit securely under your chin.
- **Straight Neck Collar**
This model has the same height all around and can be fastened wherever you prefer—at the front or back of your neck.
## Neck Collar Sizing Guide
All our neck collars have the same adjustable circumference (32–48 cm), with easy adjustment thanks to a Velcro strap.
However, when adding a collar to your cart, you’ll be able to select from four different heights:
- **6 cm – x-small**
- **8 cm – small**
- **10 cm – medium**
- **12 cm – large**
To find the right height, measure the space between your shoulder and your jawbone—this will guide your choice.
A neck collar should fit snugly but never feel constrictive or uncomfortable. It must be tight enough to limit neck movement, but not so tight that it causes discomfort. Listen to your body and make adjustments as needed.
