Is playing basketball good for whiplash?

Basketball is not recommended for patients with cervical spondylosis because it is an antagonistic sport with acute acceleration, deceleration, concussion, or physical contact and collision. Cervical spondylosis itself has cervical disc degeneration, the quality of the annulus fibrosus is already very bad, if there is a collision, may cause acute cervical disc herniation, thus causing acute nerve compression symptoms, causing cervical spondylosis aggravation symptoms, so that playing basketball is not good for cervical spondylosis. We generally recommend regular neck muscle training, which is beneficial to the cervical spine, such as stretching the cervical spine, doing small swallow movements in bed, regular neck muscle exercise, can stabilize the cervical spine, alleviate the symptoms of cervical spondylosis.
