Lumbar Spine Trauma

Lumbar spine trauma refers to injuries affecting the lower back region of the spine, which consists of five vertebrae. These injuries can result from accidents, falls, or heavy lifting and may include fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue damage. Symptoms often involve severe pain, limited mobility, and sometimes nerve issues like numbness or weakness in the legs. Diagnosis typically requires imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, and treatment ranges from rest and physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity. Prompt medical care is crucial to prevent long-term complications and promote recovery.
