Sports-Related Spine Injuries

Expert Care for Athletes and Active Individuals

Spinal injuries from sports can range from simple muscle strains to serious fractures or spinal cord damage. High-impact and repetitive-motion sports like football, gymnastics, wrestling, and hockey place athletes at greater risk. At our clinic, we focus on early diagnosis, advanced treatment, and safe return-to-play strategies to protect spinal health and athletic performance.

Common Spine Injuries in Athletes

Spine injuries in athletes require quick care for safe recovery and return to sport.

Muscle & Ligament Strains
Overuse, poor warm-up, or improper technique can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Herniated Discs
Common in weightlifters and gymnasts; disc material presses on nerves, causing radiating leg or arm pain.
Spondylolysis & Spondylolisthesis
Stress fractures in the lower back from repetitive hyperextension; may cause chronic pain and vertebral slippage.
Spinal Fractures
Caused by high-impact collisions or falls; require urgent evaluation and stabilization.
Spinal Cord Concussion or Contusion
Temporary neurological dysfunction from trauma; requires strict medical clearance before returning to sports.

Rehabilitation & Return-to-Play

Rehabilitation guides athletes from pain relief to full return-to-play safely.

Acute Phase: Pain relief, inflammation control, spinal protection
Recovery Phase: Gentle mobility and flexibility exercises
Strength Phase: Core stabilization and functional training
Return to Sport: Gradual, supervised progression to full activity
