What are the parts of your back?

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, a fall, a sudden movement causing stress to the back, sports, automobile accidents, and more.

 

The back consists of a few main parts that are linked by ligaments connecting bones to each other and tendons connecting bones to muscles. First, there is the spine which is made up of bones called vertebrae. One can experience a vertebral fracture, osteoporosis, or osteoarthritis from damage to these bones. The spine is divided into five sections:

 

The spinal cord consists of countless nerves sending messages to and from the brain. This is a very delicate part of the back, as spinal cord injuries are one of the most serious injuries that a person can experience and affect the nervous system, resulting in conditions such as quadriplegia and paraplegia. It is made up of the cervical nerves, thoracic nerves, lumbar nerves, sacral nerves, and coccygeal nerves.

 

Then, there are three muscle groups in the back. The superficial muscles include the trapezius, latissimus dorsi, levator scapulae, and rhomboids. These allow the limbs to freely move. The intermediate muscles include the serratus posterior inferior and the serratus posterior superior, and they support the body’s respiration. The six intrinsic muscles are situated deep in the back and control posture as well as allow for movements such as rotation.

 

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages. Medical care for a back injury is not cheap, and it certainly is not cheap when it involves potential complications that you may have had to deal with. With our help, we can help you recover the costs of your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages that resulted from another person’s actions.
