"The Iron Neck helps retrain the head and eyes in various planes of motion, which is critical for recovery."
Watch
Dr. Barbakoff explains how she uses the Iron Neck in her practice.
Why it works
The Iron Neck integrates the vestibular, ocular, and proprioceptive systems, working with all three at the same time.
01
The balance system, challenged as the head moves under load through different planes of motion.
02
Retraining the head and eyes to work together in various planes of motion, critical for recovery.
03
The sense of where the head and neck are in space, rebuilt through controlled, resisted movement.
Her story
Neck strength and stability play a crucial role in maintaining overall health, particularly for those who have experienced a motor vehicle accident or are involved in high risk sports.
Dr. Stephanie Barbakoff, a chiropractic neurologist and co-owner of Oculus Brain Centers, shares her expertise on how she uses the Iron Neck in her practice to help clients recover and build resilience.
Although the Iron Neck might appear to be an intimidating piece of equipment, Dr. Barbakoff reassures her clients that it is comfortable and easy to use. She often demonstrates how to use the Iron Neck, emphasizing that there is no "cute" way to wear it, but its effectiveness outweighs any concerns about appearance.
Dr. Barbakoff highlights that many motor vehicle accident clients suffer from head impacts without even hitting their head. The whiplash from the accident can cause shearing forces on the brain and brain stem, leading to a head impact. The Iron Neck helps retrain the head and eyes in various planes of motion, which is critical for recovery.
The Iron Neck is an essential tool in Dr. Barbakoff's practice, as it effectively integrates the vestibular, ocular, and proprioceptive systems. By working with these systems simultaneously, the Iron Neck provides a comprehensive approach to strengthening the neck and enhancing brain health.
There is no other device on the market that can compete with the Iron Neck's ability to build neck resistance safely and effectively.
Dr. Stephanie Barbakoff

The Iron Neck is an invaluable tool for those looking to strengthen their neck, improve brain health, and reduce the risk of setbacks.
