Spinal Trauma

Spinal trauma refers to injuries sustained by the spine due to accidents, falls, or other impactful events. It can include fractures, which are breaks in the vertebrae, and can lead to severe complications, such as paralysis or nerve damage. Symptoms may include pain, difficulty moving, numbness, or weakness. Spinal trauma requires immediate medical attention, as timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for recovery and minimizing long-term effects. Proper imaging, like X-rays or MRIs, helps assess the injury, and treatment may involve rest, medications, or surgery, depending on the severity of the damage.
