What bones are in the back?

If you or a loved one has experienced a back injury from an accident, contact 844 See Mike for a free consultation so we can help you recover from this experience and get fairly compensated.

 

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 bones in the back are called vertebrae, and there are 33 bones in the spinal column. They act to protect the nerves within the spinal cord, to support the body’s weight, and assist in many of our body’s movements. The bones are named based on the five spinal regions within the back. The seven cervical vertebrae form the highest region in the spinal column and make up the neck and upper back. The 12 thoracic vertebrae form the middle region. The five lumbar vertebrae form the lower back, which is where most people with back injuries or pains say their pain is centralized. The five fused sacral vertebrae form the pelvic girdle along with the hip bones. And lastly, the four fused coccygeal vertebrae form the tailbone, which is the lowest part of the spine at the end of the sacrum.

 

These bones are all essential components to the spinal column and serve their own special functions. An accident can cause a debilitating vertebral fracture and leave your body even more vulnerable to further injury and damage. If you have suffered a back injury from an accident, seek medical attention immediately to prevent further damage and allow yourself the opportunity to recover. Then, you can consult any of our attorneys to talk about your options in a personal injury case.

 

If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
