    My elderly Mum suffers chronic neck pain every now and again. Can anyone recommend a collar to provide temporary relief or any other solution apart from the prescription medication she gets from her GP?

    She needs a referral from her gp to see some sort of specialist, bracing any part of the body without proper guidance could cause worse problems, if unhappy with gp seek second opinion

    Physiotherapist. Go privately if needed. Worth every penny.

    I have never seen collars prescribed for cervical spondylosis.
