Does anyone have any suggestions on what my wife can use for a back support system. We've tried a couple of different cervical collars, like the soft collar and the Headmaster. Her problem is back related, not just neck support. Any suggestions?
 
Hi Harold. Could you possibly give a little more info please? Is she needing support while sitting? Standing? Or certain activities?
 
If it's just when she's sitting up that you're talking about, pillows can be used on her sides to help with support. Some of those rounded pillows would help, I'd think, to keep her sitting up. Gravity can help if the chair isn't 'straight' up and down, too.

A chair with full support--something like a recliner, is best to keep someone both comfortable and supported.
