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 spine is a very delicate and essential part of the body. A spinal cord injury is a tragic injury that can change a person’s life due to the damage that it inflicts on the spinal cord. It is considered one of the most damaging injuries that a person can experience since it can result in quadriplegia or paraplegia and not many people can make a full recovery.
 
Generally speaking, the spine has four main functions. The spine protects the spinal cord which is home to countless nerves that assist our body’s moment-to-moment functions and processes. The spine facilitates our movements such as bending, twisting, and rotating. It supports our body by bearing a large amount of our body’s weight and helping in carrying additional weight. Also, the spine forms the central axis of our body which helps us maintain our posture and balance. Any injury that could disrupt any of these four functions must be taken seriously and immediately treated in order to prevent further damage.
 
If another person caused your injuries, you can file a claim against them for monetary damages.
