There has been much debate as to whether or not it is a good idea to use a neck collar to help treat whiplash-type injuries. The pain and stiffness that a whiplash victim will suffer is caused by damage to the soft tissue in the neck area and the idea of a neck collar is to immobilise the neck which theoretically allows it time to heal and recover without being put under any additional strain. The idea is that any additional movement may cause the muscles in the neck to become even more damaged and even tear.
