The straps should be adjusted pretty snugly to limit movement. THe sides should have good overlap and fit snugly around your neck.

After ACDF do you get a lot of muscle spasms? Six weeks post op
2003年12月21日 · 7 weels post op here and lots of spasms in the surgery site area. Goes up the back of skull and settles into a killer headache. Just started P/T (massage only) hoping this will help.
