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

Aspen neck collar with the dial was great. Much more comfortable that the Aspen collar without the dial. Make sure when putting it on it fits in the correct position in the back of the neck to keep it properly protecting the back of the neck from movement. It may take a few days to get used to. I have a C2 fracture, Dr has instructed me to wear this 24/7 (I can remove briefly to shower) . The pads do get a little warm when wearing, hopefully you’re not having to wear this in hot weather or hot/humid climate. I have 4 different hard collars, by far this is the Best one for sleeping . After wearing it 24/7 for 5 weeks, the jaw area that goes up and down starts to slip, I had to buy a 2nd o one to have on hand just in case it breaks, you don’t want to be without this one. It’s up to you to make sure this is properly put on and properly secured but if worn correctly, this is by far the most comfortable and secure neck collar choice. Great price even if you have to buy a 2nd one

I am recovering from spine surgery and this collar works great! It's easy to use and adjust, either by the Velcro straps or the turn dial in front. The shipment arrived on time and in great condition.

I’ve waited a few weeks before reviewing bc I was doubtful a plastic brace under constant pressure would hold up well. But so far, I’m pleasantly surprised. It is VERY adjustable in neck height and the velcro straps have surprised me by their strength and ease of use. The center dial to adjust the height to stretch neck is not only very easy to use, but there has been no glitching whatsoever. And I adjust it many times every day bc I need different stretch and support all the time. The efficient design has made this easy. Very satisfied. Thank you!

I am 10 weeks post op from cervical 5-7 ACDF spine surgery I needed a second neck brace, the one I was given at hospital was an aspen it was over $200 for a second one this aspen was $50 and replacement pads were $15 my doctor approved of this brace it’s little lighter and does bend a little more but it has kept my neck stable for 9 weeks I wear it all the time!

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 have this previously being prescribed by the hospital so I order extra since I love the product that gives support since I have fracture of my cervical bones

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.
