Understanding Cervical Burners and Stingers

Cervical burners and stingers, also known as brachial plexus injuries, are conditions that affect the nerves in the neck and shoulder region. When these nerves are compressed, stretched, or irritated, it can cause pain, weakness, and other discomforting symptoms.

There are various causes and risk factors associated with cervical burners and stingers. These injuries commonly occur in athletes participating in contact sports such as football, rugby, wrestling, and hockey. The high impact and sudden movements involved in these sports can put pressure on the neck and shoulder area, leading to nerve damage.
