Cervical pain is a common complaint in both the well-conditioned athlete and the
weekend warrior. Some injuries are mild in nature, responding to conservative
treatment, including rest, medication, physical therapy, and time. However, more
serious injuries, especially those involving the cervical spine, can have
devastating consequences. Having a comprehensive understanding of the evaluation

physicians providing coverage for organized athletic events or for those who
serve as team physicians. This article reviews the common causes of cervical
spine pain in the competitive athlete.
