Limitations:

1. Short-Term Use:
   • Prolonged use may lead to neck muscle weakening or stiffness; it is typically prescribed for limited durations.
2. Limited Stability:
   • Provides less immobilization compared to a hard cervical collar, making it unsuitable for severe injuries or fractures.

How to Use a Soft Cervical Collar:

1. Wrap the collar around the neck, ensuring the wider end supports the chin.
2. Secure the Velcro straps for a snug but comfortable fit (it should not feel too tight).
3. Follow your doctor’s recommendations regarding duration of use, as overuse may lead to dependency or weakened neck muscles.

A Soft Cervical Collar is often recommended for mild conditions where light support and comfort are sufficient. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine the suitability of this device for your specific condition.
