Sports Injury – Neck Injury

When it comes to sports injury even the most careful person could get hurt and it should be noted that a certain degree of injury should be expected when playing any type of sport as accidents can and will happen. However accidents that arise from faulty equipment or badly maintained grounds should be avoided.

Having an accident due to equipment being faulty or the sports ground not being maintained should never be a problem within any sport as it should never happen; sadly however the truth it that accidents arising from this nature do happen.

If whilst you are playing sport you suffer injury due to faulty equipment or poor maintenance of the grounds you are using you could end up suffering severe injury including leg/foot injury, broken/fractured bones or deep lacerations; you could also be left suffering head or neck injury. 

Cycling, football, hockey, rugby, the list could go on and on as the fact is no matter what sport you are playing if you are given faulty equipment or are performing a sporting activity on a ground that is in bad condition you could end up suffering from a neck injury.

When a person is injured there are certain steps that should always be taken such as checking to see if the person is conscious, checking their airway and if they can breath as well as watching for alarming changes in behaviour. You should ensure that the injured person always receives medical help after suffering injury to their neck as the injury may have damaged a specific structure within the neck that is not always noticeable at first such as the larynx (voicebox) and oesophagus (food passage) as well as major blood vessels/nerves. Also in extreme cases and depending how low down the neck the injury occurs it could also cause damage to the spinal cord.
