Wich one of these braces would you choose to wear?
I suffer from chronic migraines and bulging disks in my neck. I am looking for a new brace to wear when my neck is killing me. I have worn a few of them in the past but I am looking for a new one. I am also wondering if any of you have had any experience with any of these braces? If you have please let me know the positive and negative about it.
As a one-time EMT, I'd ignore the first example and the flesh-colored soft Philadeplhpia collar down a few choices. They're more flexible and might even be more comfortable, but that translates into less effective. You'd never see a Philadelphia collar on a rig today.
Any of the the others are fine, but they're suitable for holding traction with broken necks with space for tracheotomies. Is there a simplified step-down version you can try? Surely your doctor or a specialist can recommend one.
@Graylight I told them that I had a Miami j collar the white and blue one. They said that should work fine. Well it broke and I am trying to find one that would be more comfortable. I have a stupid flimsy soft collar but it is hot and feels like your wearing a stuffed sock.. I may wind up going back to the Miami J.
