Back braces and neck collars

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Is a brace or collar likely to help my kind of pain, or would something else help more?
• If I try one, what type would you suggest, and how should it fit?
• How many hours a day should I wear it, and for how many days or weeks?
• How and when should I stop using it?
• What exercises or activities should I keep doing while I use it?
• Will my insurance cover a brace, and do I need a prescription for that?
• What signs mean I should stop wearing it or call you?
