Back Injuries
The back contains complex systems of muscles, bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels. These systems can be easily injured from repetitive stress at work or by a sudden jolt from an event like a car accident. The majority of people who suffer from back injuries are able to heal quickly; however, some stay impaired for months, years, or permanently.
Common causes of back injuries are:
- Twisting or pulling the torso suddenly
- Sports injuries
- Work-related incidents
- Acts of violence
- Improper lifting
- Auto accidents
- Falls
- Repetitive stress
The most frequent types of back injuries are strains, sprains, herniated disks, and fractures. Serious back injuries may require surgery. Symptoms of back injuries include:
- Pain that gets worse with movement
- Uncontrollable cramping or spasm of the muscles
- Reduced range of motion or decreased function such as trouble bending, standing straight, or walking
