How to Choose a Neck Brace or Arm Sling

  • Soft or adjustable collar: thin foam collars are light and low profile; adjustable cervical collars are firmer and can be adjusted for fit.
  • Arm sling or shoulder immobilizer: an arm sling supports the forearm, while a shoulder immobilizer adds a body strap to keep the arm close to the torso.
  • Elbow strap or elbow brace: a tennis elbow strap is a narrow band below the elbow; an elbow brace covers more of the joint.
  • Gel pack or compression wrap: gel packs and sleeves are simple wraps for cold use (or heat, if labeled hot and cold); compression ice wraps add an adjustable strap.
  • Size: collars are usually sized by neck measurement and slings by forearm length. Check the sizing chart on each product page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a soft neck brace and an adjustable cervical collar?

A thin foam neck brace is soft, lightweight and low profile. An adjustable cervical collar gives firmer support and can be adjusted for a custom fit. Your doctor can tell you which type you need.

What is an over-the-door cervical traction kit?

An over-the-door cervical traction kit uses a head harness connected to a system that hangs over a door to apply a gentle upward stretch to the neck. Use it only as directed by your doctor or physical therapist.

What is the difference between an arm sling and a shoulder immobilizer?

An arm sling holds the forearm in a pouch supported by a shoulder strap. A shoulder immobilizer adds a strap around the body to keep the arm close to the torso, limiting shoulder movement.

What is a tennis elbow strap?

A tennis elbow strap is a narrow band worn on the forearm just below the elbow. It is commonly used by people with tennis elbow and is low profile enough for sports and daily tasks.

How do I find the right size neck brace or arm sling?

Neck braces and cervical collars are usually sized by measuring around the neck. Arm slings are usually sized by forearm length. Check the sizing chart on each product page, or call us at (847) 696-6814 for help.

Can I sleep in a neck brace or shoulder immobilizer?

Some people are told to wear their neck brace or shoulder immobilizer while sleeping, and others are allowed to remove it. Follow your doctor's instructions for your injury.

How do I use a hot and cold wrap?

Ice wraps and gel packs are chilled for cold use, and wraps labeled hot and cold can also be warmed. Follow the product instructions for how to chill or heat the pack and how long to use it at a time.
