ABSTRACT:
A one-piece contoured neck brace or support is disclosed which provides semi-rigid support for a user's head and neck by conforming to and contacting the occiput between the ears, the posterior and lateral neck area and the suprascapular region. The support may be retained on the user's neck by an adjustable strap or collar, and has forwardly extending portions to reduce any uncomfortable pressure on the user's throat. Ear protectors may be selectively attached to the support as needed, as may a head band. The head band may be used to further secure the support, the ear protectors, or both.
