The CerviFit has been covered by the following types of insurance: Worker's comp, Auto (PIP), Tri-care Active duty (East/International). While we provide the resources to apply for insurance reimbursement when purchasing the CerviFit system, reimbursement is ultimately up to the individual insurance adjuster. While we provide a manufacturer's Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN), it is up to each physician as to whether they will sign it or alter it as they see medically fit. We are not a DME (Durable Medical Equipment) company we are the manufacturer and any information contained within the website is for educaitonal purposes only. We cannot nor will not provide any medical advice that is up to your medical professional.

A Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) is a formal document written by a healthcare provider or equipment manufacture to explain why a specific medical treatment, device, or service is essential for a patient’s health. The letter is often required by insurance companies to determine whether they will cover the cost of the recommended treatment or service. The goal of an LMN is to demonstrate medical necessity in order to support coverage, and it may be a key component in appealing denied insurance claims.

No, the patented CerviFit was designed from the outset for ease of use, comfort and durability. The open-faced CerviFit is comfortable and can be adjusted to each individual user’s head and face.

Isometric and isotonic resistance exercises differ in how muscles contract and produce movement. Isometric exercises involve muscle contraction without joint movement, like holding a plank or pressing against an immovable object. The muscle generates force, but length remains constant. Isotonic exercises, however, involve movement, with the muscle changing length as it contracts and lifts or lowers a weight (e.g., bicep curls, squats). Isotonic exercises are generally superior for functional strength because they mimic real-life movements, improve muscle endurance, and increase range of motion. They better engage multiple muscle groups and enhance coordination, making them ideal for athletic performance and daily activities.

Exercising in a supine position (lying on your back) with the CerviFit® offers unique benefits over standing exercises, particularly for targeting deep flexor neck muscles. Laying supine reduces the compression effects of gravity on the spine, allowing for more controlled, precise movements without the strain that standing exercises can place on the neck. This position stabilizes the core, minimizing compensation from other muscle groups and isolating the cervical muscles for focused strengthening. Additionally, the supine position provides a safer environment for those with neck pain, reducing the risk of improper alignment or excessive strain, making it highly effective for neck rehabilitation and improved postural strength.

Before beginning any weight resistance exercise program after having any surgery, always check with your physician.
