Back Injury

Back injuries are a large category encompassing soft tissue injuries (sprains and strains), spinal cord injuries, fractured vertebrae and herniated discs.

A back injury may include one or more of the following symptoms:

• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Muscle spasms
• Back pain in the lower, middle or upper back
• Numbness or radiating pain in the legs or arms
• Difficulty standing or sitting for long periods

As a victim of a severe back injury, your physician will likely direct you to a back specialist and a neurologist in order to properly assess the type of injury and amount of damage. Milder back injuries are usually referred directly for treatment by a physiotherapist, massage therapist, chiropractor and/or acupuncturist.

If you have experienced a back injury as a result of an accident, contact a Vancouver injury lawyer. You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering.
