Spinal Injuries
Spinal injuries are common in accidents. Spinal injuries affect people’s necks and backs. The source of the pain can either be from a disc, a facet joint, or the muscles and ligaments. The symptoms can be immediate or delayed.
Spinal injuries can start out as a nagging, persistent pain, but turn into a life-altering disability. Symptoms to look out for include numbness and tingling in the hands and arms if there is a neck injury, and feet and legs if there is a low back injury.
