Need a Neck Brace for Multiple Sclerosis?
Lhermitte’s sign most often occurs with MS. MS happens when the body mistakenly attacks the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS comprises the brain and spinal cord.
MS damages the myelin sheath, which is the protective, insulating material that coats the nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.
This damage interrupts the flow of signals across parts of the CNS, resulting in a range of sensory and motor symptoms.
There are two main causes of Lhermitte’s sign. The first is demyelination, or damage to the myelin around the nerves. The second is hyperexcitability, which is the increased firing of nerve fibers in the brain.
Miscommunication between damaged nerve fibers can also cause Lhermitte’s sign.
Lhermitte’s sign is present in other demyelinating disorders, such as neuromyelitis optica, which affects the optic nerve and spinal cord.
It can also occur with other medical conditions and treatments that affect the spinal cord in the neck region.

Testimonials
“I have only had this neck brace for a few days, but I have found it to be comfortable enough to wear for an extended period of time AND rigid enough to actually prevent poor positioning of the neck and head. Making adjustments for fit and comfort is easy, in terms of both tightness around the neck and the amount of support the brace provides.“
“I am a senior citizen. I have cervical vertebrae deterioration resulting in a weak neck with serious neck pain. At my age I am afraid to risk the possible side effects of neck surgery. I found the Optimal neck brace on the internet. I’ve worn this brace for a year, day and night (yes, even during sleep) and absolutely love it. After a few days you’ll hardly know it’s there except for the comfort it affords. This brace is cool, lightweight and non-restrictive. I feel undressed without it. I wear it even when doing neck exercises. Unlike similar devices it ‘s not unattractive. It supports my head but doesn’t weaken the neck muscles. I made several colored covers for it by cutting the top and bottom out of tube socks. The bulky, ugly, hot brace that Medicare provides went in the trash. Shane Peters is a genius for inventing this device! That’s my story and I’ll stick to it!.“
“I bought this for my father, who has dropped head syndrome. It’s by far the best neck brace for him (and we’ve tried a lot!). It provides air circulation, and is very comfortable. Other neck braces are designed to just stabilize the neck/head, which caused a lot of pressure on my father’s jaw. Shanes Neck Brace is comfortable, supportive, and easy to use. We had to request longer tubes to adjust the brace to the right height, and Shane replied immediately and shipped them out right away. Great customer service and great product.“
