The 5 Most Common Spinal Injuries

Your spine is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, and any injury, no matter how minor, can cause severe discomfort. However, since injuries are inevitable, a spinal injury can happen when you least expect it. At Elite Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Beverly Hills, CA, we specialize in treating spinal cord injuries and want to help you recognize some of the top ones that we treat: 

1. Herniated Discs

This injury occurs when the soft center of a spinal disc is forced out through a weakened spot in the tough outer layer. The herniation can take place in any part of your spine but is most common in the lower lumbar and cervical regions. You may experience symptoms like pain that is radiating down your arm or leg and a loss of sensation from the affected nerves. Our chiropractors can examine you to provide a diagnosis and treatment to help alleviate the pain.

2. Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is an injury that causes your spinal canal to tighten and put pressure on the spinal cord. As a result, you could experience lower back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in your arms and legs. You should visit our experienced chiropractors for treatment if you have any of these symptoms. However, before treatment, you can contact us to first determine the underlying cause of your pain.

3. Fractured Vertebrae

A vertebrae facture can be caused by a fall, accident, or any other trauma to the spine. This is considered a severe spinal injury and can cause pain, swelling, limited mobility, and weakness in your back, neck, arms and legs. Professional rehabilitation is one of the most appropriate ways to treat a fractured vertebra. Our chiropractors can assist with the correct diagnosis and a personalized rehabilitation plan to help manage the pain.

4. Excessive Spine Pain

Excessive spine pain can result from inflammation or nerve irritation caused by sciatica, herniated discs, and muscle spasms. In order to avoid more damage to your spine and prevent disabilities from happening, it is crucial to get the proper treatment. Our chiropractors can help you by applying spinal manipulation therapies to reduce pain and improve range of motion.

5. Spinal Tumors

Back pain, muscle weakness, and tingling sensations can all be signs of a spinal tumor. These tumors can paralysis, since they compress the spine and press on the surrounding nerves. Our experienced chiropractors will help examine you for a diagnosis and speak with you about treatment options.
