Back Injuries After a Car Crash

The most important thing to do is to seek medical care immediately. Even if you may have declined medical treatment at the scene of the accident, you can still seek help now. It is not too late. When you go in for treatment, make sure you tell the doctor that you were in a car accident so that he or she properly documents it in your file.

Back Pain: More Than Just an Inconvenience

Suffering from back pain can truly be debilitating. It can limit your job performance, your social life, and increase your medical expenses.

Back pain can be related to a problem anywhere, from the neck all the way down to the tailbone. That includes the bones and joints of the spine (vertebrae), the discs that sit between each vertebra that cushion the bones, and the muscles and ligaments that support the spine.

Severe Back Injuries After Your Car Accident

Severe back injuries can include:

• Sprained or strained ligaments
• Sprained or strained muscles
• Fractured spine
• Ruptured disc
• Herniated or slipped disc
• Compressed nerves (cauda equina syndrome)
