A properly placed head restraint where one can sufficiently protect his/her head lower the chances of head injury by up to 35% during a rear-end collision. [33] [34] In contrast to a properly adjusted head restraint, research suggests that there may be an increased risk of neck injuries if the head restraint is incorrectly positioned.
The gel may be designed to drain, or to remain within the structure of the adhesive matrix. [ 4 ] The moist conditions produced under the dressing are intended to promote fibrinolysis , angiogenesis and wound healing, without causing softening and breaking down of tissue.
It is a procedure that uses athletic tape (pressure-sensitive tape similar to surgical tape or elastic therapeutic tape), attached to the skin, to physically hold muscles or bones at a certain position. This reduces pain and aids recovery. Taping is usually used to help recover from overuse and other injuries.
It is available in some countries for oral administration. A transdermal preparation was approved for sale in Japan in January 2006; [1] medicated tape and gel formulations followed in 2008 and 2010. It was patented in 1977 and approved for medical use in 1986. [2]
A cervical collar, also known as a neck brace, is a medical device used to support and immobilize a person's neck. It is also applied by emergency personnel to those who have had traumatic head or neck injuries, [1] although they should not be routinely used in prehospital care.

Elastic therapeutic tape used for lower back pain on an older male. The product is a type of thin, elastic cotton tape that can stretch up to 140% of its original length. [12] As a result, if the tape is applied stretched greater than its normal length, it will "recoil" after being applied and therefore create a pulling force on the skin.
For neck pain, manipulation and mobilization produce similar changes, and manual therapy and exercise are more effective than other strategies. [12] A 2015 Cochrane systematic review found that there is no high-quality evidence assessing the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for treating neck pain. [13]
