The document provides an overview of cervical spine anatomy, including bony structures, ligaments, muscles, vascular and neurological components. It describes mechanisms of common cervical spine injuries such as brachial plexus injuries, cervical nerve root impingement, sprains/strains and vertebral artery impingement. Evaluation of the cervical spine involves inspection, palpation, and special tests to assess range of motion, neurological function, and vascular integrity.
