As the anticipation for the Buffalo Bills football season builds and school sports activities resume, it’s crucial to raise awareness about the possibility of sustaining back and neck injuries during such games. These injuries can occur due to sudden jolts, improper posture during gameplay, or bearing excessive weight. In contact sports like football, tackling and blocking can put a great deal of strain on the spinal ligaments, which can lead to sprains, strains, or more severe conditions like herniated discs. Similarly, in school sports, improper training techniques or not using protective gear can contribute to injuries. Preventing such injuries involves maintaining proper form during physical activity, regular strength and flexibility training to support your spine, wearing the right protective gear, and adequate rest.
