Vive Cervical Collar Neck Brace for Neck Pain and Support for Women & Men - Soft Foam Brace for Pain Relief - Comfortable Corrector Wrap for Posture, Sleeping, Radiculopathy, & Spine (Beige, 4 inch)

I'm in my early 40s and I have cervical spine issues that cause pain in one of my arms and numbness in my hands if tilt my head forward for very long. It's still manageable as long as I don't look down for extended periods of time. Considering how much most of us look down at our phones these days, it's easy to loose track of how long we have actually been looking down at them. Then all of the sudden I realize I have overdone it when I get the unpleasant but familiar tingle in my left arm and hand which is the precursor to numbness and pain.I had no idea that I had any kind of spinal issues until roughly seven years ago when I started having severe pain in my left arm and hand. Eventually my doctor ordered an MRI and that's when I learned that the pain in my arm was originating in my cervical spine due to nerve impingement. Long story short, one thing I needed to do to help relieve the pain and numbness was keep my neck straight as often as possible. That's when I bought this collar.I've used this collar countless times over the past seven years. I wear it a lot around the house. Especially when I'm sitting at my desk working and when looking at my phone for extended periods. I also wear it on long car rides when riding with colleagues to the airport or to meetings. It's great for sleeping in vehicles or planes even if you don't have neck problems. The collar is firm and holds my head up great. Even after using it for so long it doesn't seem to have lost any rigidity that I can tell. It's comfortable and easy to clean. I steam it and wipe it down occasionally just to keep it fresh.I'm buying another one of these just to have an extra. I have tried other brands and they do not support nearly as well as this collar does.

This is my second Vive Collar, for traveling. The first worked so good, I wanted a back-up. Absolutely reduced my snoring by 90%! Get the SnoreLab app and see for yourself. I went from snore scores of 30-40 (BAD) to 3-7 (Excellent).I breathe and snore through my nose, and this works great. Comes with a removable cover (see pictures) that can easily be washed.Be careful placing it...not too tight. If you place it tightly, you will restrict your air flow, and it will be ineffective. Good luck!

This seems to be a well-made cervical neck collar brace. It is easy to use and a good value for the money. Whether it is helpful will depend on your particular issues and the size of your neck. You might want to check with your doctor or physical therapist about whether this might work for you.

It's a neck brace. The thing is, if you need this, you're likely in a lot of pain and there's no real way to make you comfortable. So, taking into account the reality of this situation, I've had this brace for a while now. It is of very good quality. It is stiff, which is both uncomfortable, but necessarily uncomfortable. It needs to be stiff to stop my head from irritating my neck. So, It has helped to reduce the pain in my neck. So, due to the inherent discomfort of having to use this product gives it four stars I believe. If you have significant chronic neck pain, you're likely a little unhappy all the time. It's tough to deal with.The product itself is 5 stars.1. Durable. I've now had it for years.2. Stiff. Holds the head up effectively to reduce pressure on the neck. So, it's effective at reducing pain as well. It doesn't make the pain disappear. it helps significantly.3. Shaped about as well as it could be considering it has to work for a wide range of people.

only go with the 3inch if your not looking for support but to lower your range of motion, if your trying to find a brace to sleep with, id find a different one like the betovio, its not comfortable enough to sleep on like the betovio is and there really isnt a big price diff either so go with the better one, I did not try the 4inch however if your in need of more support and want to go this right, id def go with the 4" over 3", the 3inch might be one youd want to wear for while your during your neck exercises to limit the motion without disabling it.
