Wear a helmet when riding a bike/motorcycle. Wear seatbelts when riding in/driving cars. Wear proper protective gear for any sports you participate in. Basically, anything you can do to avoid the possibility of trauma to your head and spine.

Also, there are factors that can improve your ability to recover from these injuries. Physical exercise has been shown to improve the brain/spinal cord's ability to heal itself after injury. Being mentally fit also improves the brain's chances of recovery.

Some things can be done directly after injury to prevent further damage from occurring. Lowering body temperature for 1-2 days following the injury has been shown to slow down tissue death following injury to the brain/spinal cord.

The use of a type of "artificial blood" shows promise in treating brain injuries as well. This substance is thinner than blood and is, therefore, able to get oxygen to parts of the brain that regular blood cannot reach after brain injury. This keeps those areas of the brain from dying of oxygen starvation.
