Any injury that involves the spine, back, or neck may result in extreme pain, which for some victims, will last for the rest of their lives. There are many factors that influence the severity of an injury, including the victim's age at the time of the injury, his or her medical background, and the type of accident that took place. For many older people, the injury is usually more serious because their spines are less elastic, and therefore the injury may heal slower than that of a younger person.
In very severe cases, the victim of a spine, neck, or back injury may become partially or completely paralyzed. Depending upon the part of the body that was injured, the paralysis may affect one or more areas. It is crucial to identify the location of the injury in order to receive the correct medical treatment. How the injury occurred is typically the best indicator of how to correct the damage in a timely and accurate manner.
The most common causes of spine, back and neck injuries are:
- Automobile accident
- Gun violence
- Medical malpractice accidents
- On the job injuries
- Slip and fall accidents
- Sporting accidents
- Swimming and diving accidents
