Water Sports and Neck Injuries: Just like with contact sports, water sports like wakeboarding and jet-skiing can lead to neck injuries.

Water sport enthusiasts love sailing, surfing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, and jet-skiing, but just like with contact sports, these water activities can lead to neck injuries.

Water sports put extra strain on your upper body and the impact of hitting the water/wiping out can lead to whiplash, strained muscles, pinched nerves, or even a dislocation in the arm/shoulder.

Have you suffered a recent accident on the water and are now experiencing back or neck pain? Schedule a consultation and together we’ll find the best treatment to get you back in the waves!
