Spinal injury can be segregated into several types, a bulging disc or tear where the annulus of the spinal disc has been either partially or fully torn and now the annulus material is pushing the wall of the disc onto the nerves in the spinal canal or the nerve roots. In these types of cases, an injury can be very difficult to treat but many treatment avenues are available.

Treatment usually consists of physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, MRI, CT scanning, Pain management and if necessary surgery. Spinal disc injury can also have some degeneration. Many times a disc was already compromised before the accident or injury event, but as a result of the accident, it is now symptomatic. In such cases, the law provides for recovery of your injuries but a spinal injury attorney needs to be brought onto your case to make sure the proper expert opinions are offered.

Additional injury to the spine can come in the form of damage to the cartilage that allows the spine to move cleanly. In such cases as facet joint injury the actual physical joint is damaged and may need to be repaired. In extreme cases, fusion is considered, where bone graft is placed into the location where the disc is located and a physical separation is accomplished between the joints. Movement is restricted to allow the offending parts to heal and to reduce pain.

Trauma of crush injury can also damage discs and cause severe pain in the back and the nerves innervating the spine. In cases where bicyclists or pedestrians are hit, frequently surgery is required to install hardware cages to stabilize the spine and restore function, while preserving the protective mechanisms of the spine.
