Apex Cervical Orthosis
Transform your neck health with the Apex Cervical Orthosis, a groundbreaking tool engineered to support and correct the cervical spine. Modern lifestyles often lead to forward head positions due to daily activities such as using handheld devices or improper sleeping positions. The Apex Cervical Orthosis counteracts these forces, helping to restore the natural curvature of the spine while alleviating headaches and neck pain associated with “tech neck”, TMJ, whiplash, and other injuries.
Long hours on devices, poor ergonomics, and bad sleeping habits can strain neck muscles, causing conditions such as “military neck”. Slouching and rounded shoulders create muscle imbalances, while untreated injuries such as whiplash can worsen neck posture. Weak neck and upper back muscles reduce support for the head, allowing it to drift forward. Stress also contributes to muscular tension and poor posture. The Apex Cervical Orthosis provides essential support and extension traction to help address these issues. For best results, combine its use with proper ergonomics, strengthening exercises, and regular posture awareness.
Choose the standard Apex Cervical Orthosis, offering adjustable height and two firmness levels, including a gentler option for those with acute injuries or sensitive necks.
The Apex Cervical Orthosis is made from precision-cut foam, offering a firm base that maintains its shape and provides lasting support. For beginners, it is recommended to start with 2-minute sessions per day, gradually increasing by one minute daily up to a maximum of 10 to 20 minutes. Mild discomfort may occur initially, but the product should not cause pain. Use daily under the supervision of a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective use, particularly for individuals with specific medical conditions or significant neck pain.

Instructions for Use
This product must be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Place the patient in a supine position on a firm surface. Position the Apex Cervical Orthosis in the area of cervical lordotic loss. The larger angled surface should face the patient’s shoulders. To adjust height, carefully remove sections along the scored lines. Begin with an initial treatment of 2 minutes. Increase daily treatment time by 1-minute intervals up to a maximum of 20 minutes.
Instruct the patient to roll to the side to dismount the Apex Cervical Orthosis before sitting up after treatment. Some soreness or stiffness may be normal. Cold therapy such as CorPak may be applied to the affected area for 15 minutes after each session. (CorPak sold separately.)
For any questions regarding product use, consult a healthcare professional.
