Back injuries result from damage, wear, or trauma to the bones, muscles, or other tissues of the back. Common back injuries include sprains and strains, herniated disks, and fractured vertebrae. The lumbar is often the site of back pain. The area is susceptible because of its flexibility and the amount of body weight it regularly bears. It is estimated that low-back pain may affect as much as 50 to 70 percent of the general population in the United States. Low-back pain is often the result of incorrect lifting methods and posture. Repetitive lifting, bending, and twisting motions of the torso affect both the degree of severity and frequency of low-back pain. In addition, low-back pain may also be the result of bad lifting habits. Sedentary lifestyles most often lead to weak abdominal muscles and hamstrings. This causes the stronger muscles which have remained strong to pull the body away from its optimal anatomical form. The imbalanced muscles cause people to continue to perform these repetitive actions. This results in misplaced force application within the spine, often resulting in hemorrhage of disks within the spinal column. Back injuries and liftingFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. If you were in a car accident, is there an injury to your back that can give you life long pain? Asked by L - Sun Mar 29 16:33:39 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, there are several types. You could get a herniated disc, which can be sometimes fixed with physical therapy, or anti-inflammatory drugs, but usually requires surgery. In many cases, nerve damage from the disc putting pressure on spinal nerves, can be permanent. People can feel tingling/numbness in their feet or legs even after the disc has been fixed surgically. I imagine you could also crush the spinal column/nerves in several ways, which could lead to chronic pain. Answered by Christine - Sun Mar 29 16:39:16 2009 Can a back and neck injury cause arthritis in other parts of your body? Q. I'm not even 30 yet and I'm starting to feel like I have arthritis in my joints- hands for sure, feet most likely, as well as similar pain in my knees, elbows, and hips. I never had any of this pain before the car accident that caused lasting pain in my neck and back, so I wondered if it was possible that the pain in my joints could be caused by that injury? Asked by befuddled - Thu Nov 13 10:39:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, your spin is the central station for everything else. You should see a massage therapist because chances are, after your wreck, your body is not in good alignment anymore, which will cause pains like those.

Q. When I was young, I head a head injury on my head, and this resulted in me having a permanent baldspot. I was ever wondering if there was a way to have the hair regrow in that spot or if it will just stay that way forever. Asked by Ravin - Thu Jul 23 03:38:25 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. It really depends on the type of injury if it was a injury that resulted in the hair molecules underneath ur scalp dying it will never grow back , but if it resulted in a smwhat "old man effect" there are many products you can purchase to help this grow back i reccomend leimco, but not the one you see on the advertisement hit up there website and heck there other products out as they have some cheaper versions there that work just as well except for more of a prolonged time. Hope I've helped Answered by Taraleigh - Thu Jul 23 03:45:33 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "back injury" |
