The most common causes of spinal injury are Road Traffic Accidents which can produce injuries ranging from minor Whiplash to major spinal injuries. Accidents at Work are also common causes of spinal injuries, in a Slip, Trip or Fall, or if you fell from a height, fell onto something, or landed awkwardly putting pressure on your spine.
The spinal column contain nerves which send signals to the brain and rest of the body about sensation and controlling movement. If these nerves are damaged, even a partial recovery may take many years.
