The most immediate effect of neck and spine injuries is the degradation of physical health. Unfortunately, there are many negative effects that come with neck and spine injuries:
- Mobility Issues: Neck and spine injuries can lead to a restricted range of motion which can cause stiffness and increase difficulty in performing certain tasks.
- Spinal Degeneration: Conditions like osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease often develop after sustaining an injury for a couple of years. These issues can cause further pain and nerve damage.
- Chronic Pain: Persistent neck and back pain is one of the most common effects of sustaining a neck or back injury.
