Cervical injuries refer to damage to the cervical spine, which is the upper part of the spine located in the neck. These injuries can occur due to various causes, including car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or medical conditions. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, or loss of movement in the neck and arms. Severe cervical injuries can lead to serious complications, such as paralysis or loss of sensation. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. Treatment options vary based on the severity and may include rest, physical therapy, or surgery.
