Sport related concussions and spine injuries pose significant risks to athletes. A concussion, resulting from head or body impact, leads to temporary brain function impairment, with symptoms like headache, dizziness, and cognitive changes. Timely evaluation and management are crucial for safe return to play. Meanwhile, spine injuries, ranging from strains to severe fractures and spinal cord damage, occur due to sudden impact or repetitive stress during athletic pursuits. Immediate recognition, immobilization, and medical care are vital to prevent worsening and long-term disability. Preventive measures encompass proper technique training, protective gear usage, adherence to safety protocols, and educational initiatives targeting coaches, athletes, and parents for early detection and intervention. In essence, spinal health and sports safety demand comprehensive assessment, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate management for optimal outcomes and long-term well-being.
