This invention provides a cervical brace (10) for substantial immobilization of a user's head (14). The cervical brace (10) of the subject invention includes a head immobilization mechanism (24) for interface with the chin of the user (12). Additionally, a rear immobilization mechanism (26) is provided for contacting the occipital portion of the user's head (14). The immobilization mechanisms (24 and 26) are provided with rigid plate members (28 and 26) in combination with flexible sheets (32 and 42) to form pockets within which flexible pad members (36 and 38) may be removably inserted. In this manner, the user's head (14) is maintained in a substantially immobile positioning location while dispersing the loads over a wider area to minimize any user discomfort.
