Description

Poor posture, and mechanical strain from whiplash injuries contribute to a sustained forward head posture resulting in headaches, neck and TMJ pain and can lead to cervicobrachial neuralgia. Including the Apex Cervical Orthosis™ Premium in your treatment plan counteracts that detrimental position and helps achieve symptom relief. The contoured shape with wedge extension is designed to correct a diminished cervical lordosis while comfortably supporting the upper thoracic spine. This allows shoulders to drop, which lets chest and neck muscles stretch passively, assisting depth of inspiration and promoting relaxation.
