Aspen Vista Cervical Collar - 2-Piece Neck Brace for Restricting Cervical Motion -Relieves Neck Discomfort and Spine Pressure - Soft Cotton Padding - 6 Height Adjustments

Due to multiple herniated disks that have caused spinal cord compression in my neck, I started research into cervical collars. Specifically, due to paresthesia in my arms at night, I needed one I could sleep in. After much reading online, the Aspen Vista came in as a top choice, so in my cart it went. I have to say, it has helped a lot! Since I've started sleeping in the collar, I have not been woken up by my arms going numb. It is easy to adjust and is fairly comfortable. I switched to a contour pillow as that allows me to support my head but not put extra pressure on the collar. My only potential complaint would be the comfort of the padding. It is soft and thin enough not to be warming, but I believe I may make a soft cotton or linen liner for the pad going under the chin, just for the sake of comfort. I also like that they sell replacement padding and have ordered a couple of sets for when the original wears out over time. Overall, if you need a Cervical Collar to sleep in, you have my understanding sympathy and my recommendation of this collar.

I was diagnosed with a herniated disc between my C5-C6 cervical vertebrae and before I could get an appointment with my doctor (2 weeks later), I was in agonizing pain where I had aches and pain running up and down on my right upper arm, elbow and complete numbness on my right thumb. I knew I had to completely stabilize my neck but the only thing I had in my medical bin was a soft neck brace. Based on other reviewers, I ordered this one and it has literally saved me from sleepless nights and the kind of aches and pain that I don't wish on my worst enemies. It has been 4 months now... I have seen not only my internist but a neurosurgeon who quickly advise that I get surgery as by removing my disc and implanting a synthetic one, "theoretically" my pain will be gone. I opted for physical therapy instead and I have slowly weened myself off from wearing the neck base 24/7. I now only wear my neck brace at night when I sleep and some nights, I am ok without it. Thank you so much Aspen for making this available for purchase on Amazon. And thank you for all the reviewers that helped me make this purchase selection. Tip: Because I wore the neck brace 24/7 for the past 4 months, I used a long wool sock as a cover for the chin pad as it was much easier to remove the sock and wash it rather than having to wash the chin pad every so often.

I suffer from neck pain because I wear my stress at the back of my neck. The older I get the more that will have to wear it. I have always worn a Philly collar and it always did the job. However this neck brace is flipping amazing! Super comfortable and the support is second to none. I highly recommend this neck brace. On a side note, the delivery was a day early.

Good collar. Has some pluses and minuses, the plus is the adjustable chin piece and neck straps. That makes it much easier to deal with when changing positions, eating, etc. However mine broke after a year of normal wear, and the pads just aren't cushioning enough so the plastic still puts some pressure particularly on the back of the skull. I also cant sleep in this because it rides up and cuts off my airway during the night. I am quite small and I do think this collar is too big for me, even with the adjustability. I had to pull it a lot to get it to fit. That said, its my favorite of the 3 collars I've used and still recommend it!

Finally, I have a neck brace that works! Thank you

Compared to other collars I've seen, this Aspen Vista seems to be well made. The one star is NOT because of the quality. But, good luck trying to get it adjusted if nobody's around to help you. Directions do show how to adjust it (somewhat), with another pair of hands helping you. You WILL need another pair of hands with this initial (once only, I hope) step. Also, turning the knob, and other adjustments, aren't easy if you've got hand/finger/joint problems. This type of issue hadn't crossed my mind since nothing in the product ad or reviews even hinted at it and while this isn't a common issue, some other folks might not think of it either. Once I use it, I'll update this review regarding it's effectiveness in helping the physical issue. ..... ..... ..... Update ..... ..... ..... I envy all the folks who are able to adjust and wear this collar. I can't. It cannot be adjusted enough to fit my ... relatively normal neck and head.. I didn't say "mind", I said head. It cannot be pulled snug enough for the back section to properly support the head and tighten the collar, leaving a lot of room to move. I actually got a EMT friend to advise and was told these are not easy to use if you have any mobility issues and are trying to put it on when you're alone. They were designed more for an emergency application by a trained professional. As I found out. No matter how it's adjusted or how tight the velcro is pulled, it will NOT restrict movement enough to be of any use to me. I guess a trip to an overpriced physical therapist for an equally overpriced collar is is order. But, hopefully it will result in a rigid collar that fits and can be put on without it being a major production. Try this, it's worked for some folks. But, try it before the time to return it passes or you will have "burned" $50.00 ... just like I did.

I was sent a referral to an orthopedic store to get an C-Collar prior to my cervical surgery and they wanted to charge me $230 out of my own pocket and that’s with insurance already paid. I cancelled that and and found this same C-Collar from Amazon, same brand color, padding etc for $40. There’s no freaking way a C-collar cost $230 that’s going straight in the trash when I’m done with it. That’s just insane! Let alone the surgery deductible cost me $4K. I should’ve told them I’m from Somalia and gotten it for free while tax payers pays for it.

This is an exact match for the collar I was given after having neck surgery where they replaced vertebrae in my neck.

Very good for those who had a neck surgery.

Great product. Surpasses all needs and is fully adjustable. Excellent quality and customer service from Manufacturer. If you need a collar there is none better than this. Buy 2 so you can swap then and Clean pads on them easily.

Collare veramente professionale, considerando poi, che esistono i cuscinetti di ricambio direi che è al top! Consigliatissimo

Lo compré para la operación de serviciales y excelente como pocos e incluso excelente por el cambio de almohadillas claro que se venden por separado pero de lo mejor que e comparado

I broke my neck 12 months ago and on discharge from hospital the NHS wouldn't supply a brace, so I bought this. It's a but grubby after a year's use but still functions perfectly. I have been in and out of different hospitals for surgery over the year and have been offered a number of different braces but I always choose to use this. It is robust, adjustable and comfortable. It's also easy to put on and can be adjusted while in place. I can't fault it.
