A back injury is a general term encompassing many different types of damage or trauma to the connective tissues of the back, including bones, muscles, tissues, tendons, ligaments, and more. They can be caused by physical exertion, sudden movements causing stress to the back, sports, automobile accidents, and more.

In general, any back injury should be treated seriously since the back supports your body through the spinal cord, and within the spinal cord are some very important structures, including the central nervous system. There are certain symptoms of a back injury that may indicate that you may have a more serious case and should seek medical attention to tend to it as soon as possible.

Back injuries will usually cause some pain and swelling, but if it is excessively painful or swelling, you should see a doctor since it could be a sign of a worse or worsening condition than originally thought. This excessive pain may cause difficulty sleeping, difficulty doing everyday tasks, and even moving. If your injury causes you to feel numbness, tingling sensations, or shooting pains in the arms or legs, you should also see a doctor as this could mean that your nervous system could be damaged. This can turn into a very serious condition. Also, if you find yourself unable to move a joint properly which causes you to walk or move very awkwardly, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Other general signs to watch out for that may signify a very serious injury include bumps or lumps in the back that are unrelated to swelling, and red streaks down or across your back. If you find these on your body, you should also see a doctor as soon as possible.
