Cervical Fracture

The cervical vertebrae are made of seven bones, these bones support the head and are responsible for connection with the shoulder and the body and provide mobility. If any fracture happens in one of these cervical vertebrae is usually referred to as a broken neck or cervical fracture. Aged people and athletes are at high risk, any ground-level fall can result in a cervical fracture. Any injury to the neck can have a serious impact as the spinal cord, central nervous system’s connection between body and brain connects through the center of the vertebrae. Damage to the spinal cord is very serious it can even result in paralysis or death.
