Types of Common Neck & Back Injuries
Neck and back injuries change the body’s ability to comfortably move. Those that experience a neck or back injury are often forced to deal with agonizing pain if they want to accomplish even the simplest tasks. Common neck and back injuries include:
Disc Injuries
The back consists of many vertebrae that are separated by pieces of cartilage known as discs. As they help the spine with movement, any injury to a disc can be painful and inhibiting to normal mobility. These injuries are often caused by trauma and are separated into two categories: bulging discs and herniated discs. A bulge occurs when the cartilage extends past the space it is supposed to occupy in the back. A herniated disc happens when cracked hard cartilage allows softer cartilage to emerge from the disc.
Whiplash
Many people experience whiplash due to car accidents. This happens when your head is suddenly and forcefully moved, causing damage to the ligaments, nerves, or muscles in the neck. Whiplash often causes prolonged physical discomfort to victims.
Strains
Strains are caused by repetitive exertion or improper posture. These are often experienced from sports, physically-demanding jobs, or poor sleeping. They can also be produced from sudden, violent impacts such as those experienced during a serious car accident.
Fractures & Spinal Cord Damage
Impact to the spinal column may cause its bones to fracture. As the spinal column houses crucial nerves used by the brain to send signals, this type of injury can change a person's quality of life. Spinal cord damage frequently causes paralysis and death.
