Neck and Shoulder Supports: Traction, Collars and Immobilizers

Neck and shoulder problems affect how you sleep, drive, work and move. The right support is designed to give the area stability or controlled stretching, depending on the product, and to fit the way you use it.

Dr. Franklyn's is a Brooklyn, New York family business with more than 25 years of experience in orthopedic support and rehabilitation products. Cervical traction devices and shoulder immobilizers are two of our key product categories, and every product page lists sizing and instructions.

Cervical Traction Devices

A cervical traction device is designed to apply a gentle, controlled stretch to the neck, and many people use one at home or in a clinic as part of a routine recommended by their clinician. Traction is not suitable for everyone, so ask a healthcare professional before using one, especially if you have a neck injury, a medical condition or have recently had surgery.

• Professional Cervical Traction Device: a professional mechanical traction device.

• Cervical Traction Neck Pump: an inflatable neck traction device with a hand pump.

• Cervical Traction Device: an adjustable neck stretcher for home use.

Cervical Traction Neck Brace

The Cervical Traction Neck Brace is an adjustable cervical support designed to steady the neck.

Cervical Collars and Neck Support Braces

Cervical Collar for Neck Pain

If you are looking for a cervical collar for neck pain, start with how much support you want. The Soft Cervical Collar is an adjustable foam neck support designed to give gentle support and limit movement a little, and many people use it for comfort during the day or when resting. A collar does not diagnose or treat the cause of neck pain, so see a clinician if pain is severe, follows an injury or comes with numbness or weakness.

Rigid Neck Support Brace

For firmer immobilization, the Two-Piece Rigid Cervical Collar is a rigid neck support brace with a tracheostomy opening. Rigid collars are normally used under the direction of a clinician.

Shoulder Support Braces and Immobilizers

A shoulder support brace is designed to hold the arm and shoulder in a steady position. Two shoulder immobilizers are available:

• Universal Shoulder Immobilizer Brace: an adjustable arm sling and shoulder immobilizer in green or gray

• Shoulder Immobilizer and Sling with Abduction Pillow: adds an abduction pillow that supports the arm away from the body

Shoulder Brace for Rotator Cuff Surgery Recovery

Shoulder immobilizers are commonly used after shoulder procedures, including rotator cuff repair, when a surgeon directs it. Always follow your surgeon's instructions on how long and how to wear one. These products do not diagnose or treat a rotator cuff injury.

What to Look For

• Adjustability: straps that let you change the fit as you recover

• Comfort and breathability: you may wear a collar or sling for long periods

• Level of support: soft, rigid or traction, depending on what your clinician recommends

• Left or right fit: check this for shoulder products

• Clear size chart: so you can order the right size first time

Getting the Right Fit

A support that is too loose does little, and one that is too tight can be uncomfortable or restrict breathing and circulation. Before ordering:

• For neck supports, measure around your neck and, if the chart asks, the distance from chin to collarbone
• For shoulder supports, check the sizing chart and whether the product fits the left or right arm
• If you are between sizes, check the product notes or contact us before ordering
• Follow the product instructions, and ask a clinician to check the fit after surgery or injury

Support That Works Together

For comfort after a long day, explore our infrared and light therapy, heating pads and EMS and TENS therapy products, designed to support comfort and recovery. Neck tension often travels with the back, so see our back braces and a supportive cushion for desk time.
