Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I wear a neck brace after cervical spine surgery? + –

The exact duration depends on your procedure and your surgeon’s recommendations. Most patients wear a brace for 4–8 weeks to protect the surgical site, allow bones to fuse, and minimize strain on healing tissues. Always follow your doctor’s specific guidelines.

Can I take off my neck brace when sleeping or showering? + –

This varies by surgeon preference and the type of brace. Some semi-rigid collars must be worn continuously, including during sleep, while others can be briefly removed for hygiene. Speak with your healthcare provider before removing your collar for any reason.

Will wearing a post-op neck brace weaken my neck muscles? + –

Prolonged immobilization can lead to mild muscle deconditioning, but using a brace as instructed is crucial for allowing surgical repairs to heal. Physical therapy and gradual return to normal activities will help rebuild muscle strength once it’s safe to do so.

When should I start physical therapy after neck surgery? + –

Most surgeons recommend beginning gentle exercises or physical therapy a few weeks post-op, once the incision has begun healing and the neck is stable. Early sessions often focus on flexibility and pain management, with progression to strengthening and more active movements over time.

What kind of brace is best for complex neck fractures or extensive surgery? + –

A rigid or halo-style brace, such as the Cybertech Minerva Orthosis, offers maximum stabilization for serious injuries or multiple-level fusion. It restricts motion more than a soft or semi-rigid collar, which is often necessary for full healing in complex cases.
