Principle of Action of Inflatable Neck Brace
Inflatable neck brace not only has the function of fixation and braking of ordinary medical neck brace but also has the function of traction.It works by inflating and adjusting the height of the air cushion to stretch the neck. By lengthening the neck, it is possible to relieve tension in the neck muscles and relieve pain caused by muscle tension.After the inflatable neck brace supports the head, it can also reduce the pressure of the head on the cervical vertebra, increase the gap between the cervical vertebra and the bone, relieve the compression or stretch of the nerve, and improve the numbness of the upper limb.
Inflatable neck brace is suitable for some patients with neck pain, including cervical spondylosis, cervical disc herniation, etc. During acute neck injury or acute attack of cervical spondylosis, the inflatable neck brace in traction is to lift the head upward through the reaction force generated by pressing the shoulder, chest and back, and protect the head to correct the cervical spine.
Method of Use

If there is no discomfort, try to continue inflating until there is tension in the back of the neck and stop inflating. After some patients have some experience with it, it can be inflated to the point where pain relief or numbness is relieved. After inflation, according to the situation, generally relax for a period of time after 20 ~ 30 minutes, and then inflate for a period of time.
