How can you prevent spine injuries if you do extreme sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be impossible to: avoid. Some sports are simply very high risk, and must be done understanding the risks, and accepting the risks. Always pay attention to proper body mechanics, and always engage in proper stretching techniques before and after the sports.
