Common Back and Neck Injuries in Sports
- Spinal Fractures: Spinal fractures can occur in sports that involve high-velocity impacts, such as football and rugby. These fractures can cause severe pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected area.
- Herniated Discs: A herniated disc occurs when the soft tissue between the spinal vertebrae protrudes and presses against the spinal nerves. Herniated discs are common in sports that involve twisting or bending of the spine, such as gymnastics and wrestling.
- Strains and Sprains: Back and neck strains and sprains can occur in any sport that involves sudden, forceful movements or repetitive motions, such as basketball and tennis.
- Whiplash: Whiplash is a neck injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jerked back and forth, such as during a car accident or contact sports like football.
