The Tiny Foam Brace That Gave Chronic Neck Pain a 12‑Month Timeout

Would you believe that a tiny plastic brace helped people with neck nerve pain feel better for a whole year? After individual analysis and a care program of course, here is how Chiropractic Biophysics worked.

The breakdown of the study:

Researchers gave 60 adults with discogenic cervical radiculopathy (pain caused by a slipped disc pressing on a neck nerve) a 10‑week rehab program. Half of them also used a Denneroll cervical orthotic device—a small, curved foam piece that gently pulls the neck back into a normal curve while you lie down.

• Both groups got less arm and neck pain after 10 weeks.

• Only the group with the Denneroll showed a bigger improvement in the shape of their neck (called cervical lordosis) and in how far their head stuck forward (anterior head translation, or AHT).

• One year later, the Denneroll group kept their gains, while the control group slid back to where they started.

  
  

What this means for you

Adding a gentle neck‑traction device to a regular exercise program can lock in long‑term relief—you don’t have to keep feeling worse after the program ends.
