Neck trauma — whether from a road accident, a fall, a sports collision, or a sudden awkward movement — can be both physically painful and emotionally distressing. The cervical spine is remarkably mobile, which makes it highly functional but also vulnerable to injury. Recovery from neck trauma requires more than rest; it requires a carefully managed, progressive rehabilitation program.
