Additional Information

Home Treatments:

Unless it is a minor abrasion, or cut to the superficial neck area, a spinal or neck injury should be treated professionally. Initial treatment of a spinal or neck injury involves identifying if the person is responsive, checking breathing and circulation, beginning CPR if needed and keeping the person safe from additional injuries from the environment. Unless absolutely necessary, the person should not be moved until a professional assistance arrives.

Professional Medical Treatments:

Professional treatment of a spinal or neck injury will depend on the cause and severity of the injury. Treatment may range from immediate surgery to remove an object or debris, surgery to repair tissue, or long-term hospital recovery.

Physical Therapy and Exercises:

Physical therapy may likely be necessary when recovering from a spinal cord injury. If motor coordination has been affected by the injury, a long term physical therapy program will be needed to rehabilitate the affected motor deficiencies that will primarily involve recovering range of motion and smooth movement control. canada cannabis dispensary

Exercise Techniques to Prevent Injury:

A spinal or neck injury usually occurs from a serious impact or blow and as such cannot be appropriately prevented with exercise technique. Prevention largely involves safety precautions, from wearing a helmet in contact sports, to wearing a seat belt when driving.
