Bone fracture – break(s) in the bone
Head injury – concussion
Spinal cord injury – damage to the central nervous system or spine
Cramp-a strong muscle contraction that can be very painful lasting in few minutes but massaging the muscles can relieve the pain
In sports medicine, a catastrophic injury is defined as severe trauma to the human head, spine, or brain.
