Zone Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 The background: Just got diagnosed with severe degenerative disc/ arthritis to the neck C5-6, after I took a tumble backward goofing around. Severe pain to both arms to the finger tips, still some nerve damage to the thumb and the MRI is still pending to assess the spinal cord / nerve root damage ( I understand, that's not an uncommon injury with football). Anyway, I was told not to snowboard anymore. So, the question is, anyone with similar experience, as it relates to snowboarding. In particular, ANY PROTECTIVE COLLAR KNOWN TO WORK FOR SNOWBOARDING. Thanks. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I don't know how this would work for snowboarding, but for stock car racing I use a neck brace beneath the helmet to keep my head from bouncing around too much. You would probably need to wear at least an MX style helmet to get the support it was designed for. Check out the Summit Racing website, they have a few models there. Hope this is helpful.
