My girlfriend is 17 and she was recently involved in a car accident, and injured her neck. The doctor's have her in a soft collar neck brace for now while they wait for the swelling to go down. The doctor says they can treat her injury with either a Aspen Neckbrace or Philadelphia Neckbrace, which one do you think is better or more comfortable for her?

You are so sweet!!
I had surgery on my neck and I used an aspen. I have referred them to many people. They are a lot more comfortable than others... I tried many before liking this one. I did not try the Philadelphia but.. I would 100% say the Aspen. It was very comfortable for me. It has a really comfy lining on the inside and it is the only thing I would wear again if I were to have to wear one again. My brother just hurt his neck and he says that it is so comfortable. My doctor told me that is also a really good one because it supports your neck really well. I actually healed faster than they thought I would... not sure if it was the brace or what. But... yea I would say Aspen. If you have any questions about it... feel free to e-mail me. Good luck!! I hope she gets better soon!!

Allow her to try both, if she has the option, and pick which is the lesser of the two evils. Best wishes!
