Football and Sports Injuries

With the Super Bowl ending last night, football is top of mind and so is the toll the sport can take on the spine. Football-related injuries like neck strains, herniated discs, and nerve irritation, are often caused by repeated impact, poor tackling form, or lack of core and neck strength.

The good news? Many spinal injuries are preventable with proper technique, targeted strengthening, and allowing time for recovery. As you enjoy the big game, remember protecting your spine is just as important as playing hard and Axis Spine and Orthopedics is here when you need expert care.
