Neck & Back Injury Information
Injuries involving the neck and back are often devastating and can result in permanent
pain for the injured person. Neck and back injuries, often are injuries
to the spine, one or more discs, nerves or
spinal cord and can cause lost time from work, pain, leg or arm weakness, radiculopathy
and many other symptoms. Sometimes, these injuries require expensive and
painful injections, therapy, and even surgery. To discuss your neck, back,

Understanding the True Extent of Neck & Back Injuries
In some cases, neck and back injuries may be minor with no permanent consequences
other than temporary symptoms, such as sore muscles; however, that is
not always the case. If you have been involved in an accident (such as
a tractor trailer wreck or a
car accident), you could suffer a permanent neck, back, or spine injury. Some of the
common tests used to diagnose neck, back, and spine injuries include X-rays,
MRIs, CT scans, myelograms, and more.
These tests may find a wide variety of neck and back injuries, including
the following:
- Injuries to Vertebrae (Bones in the Spine)
- Strained Muscles
- Sprains
- Herniated or Bulging Discs
- Fractured Bones
- Cervical Dislocation
- Nerve Impingement
- Spinal Cord Damage
- Stenosis
- Degenerative Disc Disease (Exacerbation)
- Tears / Scarring of the Soft Tissue Near the Spine
- Nerve Damage
As there is such a large range in severity of
injuries, it is critical that you work with a
Lexington personal injury attorney who will be able to provide answers to your legal questions and an explanation
of your legal rights.
