Trauma refers to an injury caused by a blow to the body. Spinal trauma is usually caused by motor vehicle collisions and falls, often from a great height. It usually produces pain in the back or neck; pain, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg; and paralysis. Fractures, dislocations, deformity, or spinal cord injury also occur commonly with spinal trauma. Less common are spinal instability, a structural weakening of the spine, and neurological disability.
Risk factors for spinal trauma are high-speed motor vehicle collisions, falls, advanced age, and osteoporosis. As a result, young adults and the elderly are the most frequently affected by spinal trauma. If you already have a spinal tumor or osteoporosis, minor blows to the spine can further weaken your bones.
To prevent spinal trauma, it helps to maintain strong, healthy bones may offer protection and to avoid high-risk behaviors such as speeding, drinking and driving, diving into shallow water, or climbing high ladders. Unfortunately, we cannot always predict or prevent spinal trauma.
