Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a cervical curvature correction device. Background Art

[0002] Cervical spondylosis is mostly caused by changes in the physiological curvature of the cervical spine. When treating cervical spondylosis, orthopedic devices are usually used to correct the user's neck curvature. Existing orthopedic devices generally use sponges or other soft materials to support the user's cervical spine. If the material is too soft, the support for the cervical spine is insufficient. If the material is too hard, it will affect the comfort of use and the orthopedic effect will be poor. Summary of the invention
