ABSTRACT:
A cervical collar for lifting the skull of a wearer. The collar includes a core, a pair of bladders, and inflating apparatus. The core replaceably encircles the neck of the wearer. The pair of bladders are inflatable and disposed on the core. The inflating apparatus is in fluid communication with the pair of bladders, and when the pair of bladders are inflated to a predetermined pressure by the inflating apparatus, the skull of the wearer is gently pushed off the shoulders of the wearer, which relieves downward pressure on the cervical spine of the wearer by forming intrinsic neck traction, whose early and continued use relieves pain and weakness and prevents major and sometimes non-reversible deterioration of the cervical spine of the wearer.
