What is a non-spinal cord back injury?

Back injuries may happen in a variety of ways, and can involve muscles, ligaments and other joints or tissues. Back injuries that do not involve the spinal cord in any way are considered "non-spinal cord back injuries". Some of these kinds of injuries may be the result of bad posture or lifting heavy objects, however, most serious back injuries are the result of some form of accident, such as auto accidents, slip and fall accidents and other work-related accidents. Injuries that are known as soft tissue injuries are the most common non-spinal injuries from car crashes and will include sprains and strains on the different muscles or ligaments.

Some non spinal cord back injuries may cause minimal, annoying pain, however, many of them result in long-lasting pain or discomfort. Serious back injuries may include slipped discs, herniated discs and compression fractures. It is always in your best interest to discuss your symptoms with your doctor as well as your attorney, so you will be able to be fully compensated in your lawsuit or settlement.
