VIDEO: Spine Injury in Sport – Managing On-Field Cervical Spine Injuries

At The Sports Institute, we work to expand participation and safety in sports. In an effort to educate parents, coaches and medical personnel on best practices in sports safety, we produced a short educational film demonstrating new, recommended techniques for emergent treatment of athletes with a suspected cervical spine injury. These recommendations are made in two peer-reviewed papers written by the NATA Spine Injury in Sport Group and published in the Journal of Athletic Training. Watch the film below and read the manuscripts at cspinefilm.com.
