abstract="Due to the potential for catastrophic neurotraumas  and cervical spine injuries in sport, the sports health care professional must  take proper measures to prevent such injuries. Strength training of the cervical  spine, teaching of proper sporting techniques, and use of protective sports  equipment are three primary means of attempting to prevent neurotraumas and  cervical spine injuries in sports. There are other avenues to assist in  preventing these injuries, such as flexibility programs. The sports health care  professional, therefore, must be knowledgeable of the needs of each individual  athlete when developing prevention plans.",
