Studies have shown that as much as twenty percent of all sports-related injuries involve the lower back or neck. Some sports like running and weightlifting can expose you to a high risk for lower back injuries. Contact sports, such as football and soccer, expose the cervical spine and neck to injury. Football and soccer players are easy candidates for mild to severe head traumas, neck injuries, cervical spine damage, headache, neck pain, dizziness, irritability, and insomnia.

Body builders are at a significant risk for a host of serious back, shoulder, neck, and knee injuries. Resistance training can cause muscle sprains and strains, ligament and tendon injuries, or stress fractures. Older people are at higher risk since their bones and discs are more brittle. Gymnastic activities and trampolines also present risks for spinal cord injuries from unexpected and brute falls or contact with hard surfaces.
