healing potential. Combining determination, proper
medical attention, knowledge about an injury, and focus on
the healing process can greatly help most injuries.

healing process.
If you or a loved one have
suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury or other serious back injury including a severed spinal
cord, broken vertebrae, crushed discs, herniated discs, or a
bulged discs; the most important thing you can
do is to find a good medical doctor to assess the injury so
you know what you are dealing with and how to best treat the
injury. From physical therapy and steroid injections
to back surgeries (lumbar diskectomy, cervical fusion, and
other lumbar or cervical procedures), there are many
different ways to treat a back injury and it is important to
know what will work best for you.
The second step is determine how to pay for
the necessary medical treatment and if necessary hire an
attorney to thoroughly investigate the accident that caused
the injury, all potentially
responsible parties, and all insurance coverage that may
apply.

Texas Traumatic Back Injury Lawsuits including Spinal Cord
Injury Lawsuits as well as Crushed Disc, Bulged Disc, and Herniated Disc
Lawsuits
A serious back injury or
spinal cord injury can cause extreme pain and paralysis
requiring back surgery, physical therapy, home health care
providers, and medical devices & equipment. Recovering
from a back injury or spinal cord injury case take years and
in many instances full impairment may never be obtained.
In the more severe cases, the injured person may need help
in their day to day life and may not be able to do many of
things that they were able to do prior to the traumatic back
injury or spinal cord injury.
The human spinal cord is
a nerve center in the body that is surrounded by 33 bones
or vertebrae. Located between each vertebrae is a
spinal disc which is a liquid filled disc shaped pouch.
These discs are stacked on top of one another and act as
shock absorbers allowing the spine to flex, bend, and twist.
When functioning properly, the vertebrae and discs protect
the spinal cord allowing nerve impulses to travel from and
to the brain to other parts of the body. This allows
us to experience sensations, move our bodies, and control
many bodily functions.
Problems arise when the
vertebrae, discs, or spinal cord are injured. Broken
vertebrae can damage and impinge on discs or the spinal cord
causing extreme pain, numbness, and loss of control of
bodily functions. Back injuries can occur through
many different types of traumatic events and can result in paralysis,
pain, and impairment. Depending
where and how severe the injury is will determine what type
and how severe the paralysis.
Cervical Decompression and Fusion
Surgery, Lumbar Decompression and Fusion Surgery, and Spinal
Implants (Spinal Cord and Back Surgery)
Fortunately, medical science
has come a long way in treating back injuries and spinal
cord injuries. Good neurosurgeons and orthopedic
surgeons can often perform back surgery that can help severe
spinal cord and back injuries.
Some types of back and neck
surgery include:
Artificial Disc
Replacement - is a procedure that involves
replacing a painful disc that is causing chronic back pain
with an artificial disc that provides pain relief without
compromising the spine's natural anatomical structure.
Cervical Spinal Fusion
- uses a bone graft in the cervical or neck/upper back to
stop the motion at a painful vertebral segment for the
purpose of decreasing pain generated from the damaged part
of the cervical back, upper back, or neck.
Cervical Decompression
Surgery - Decompression surgery involves removing a
small portion of the bone over the nerve root and/or disc
material from under the nerve root to relieve pinching of
the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.
Depending on the patient's condition including cervical
impingement an Ananterior Cervical Decompression Surgery (Discectomy),
a Posterior Cervical Decompression and Fusion Surgery (Microdiscectomy),
or a combination of operating from the front and back of the
patient may be used.
Cervical Decompression
and Fusion Surgery - Decompression surgery involves
removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root
and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve
pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to
heal. The decompression surgery will sometimes
de-stabilize the spine and create the need for a fusion to
add stability. In these cases spinal instrumentation (such
as a small plate) can also be used to help add stability to
the spinal construct. Depending on the patient's
cervical impingement an Ananterior Cervical Decompression
Surgery (Discectomy) or a Posterior Cervical Decompression (Microdiscectomy)
and Fusion Surgery (Discectomy) or a combination of
operating from the front and back of the patient may be
used.
Lumbar Spinal Fusion
- uses a bone graft in the lumbar or lower part of a
person's back to stop the motion at a painful vertebral
segment for the purpose of decreasing pain generated from
the damaged part of the lumbar or lower back.
Lumbar Decompression
Surgery (Laminectomy) - Decompression surgery involves
removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve root
and/or disc material from under the nerve root to relieve
pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the nerve to
heal.
Lumbar Decompression and
Fusion Surgery - The decompression and fusion surgeries
are often used together because decompression surgery
involves removing a small portion of the bone over the nerve
root and/or disc material from under the nerve root to
relieve pinching of the nerve and provide more room for the
nerve to heal. Thus, decompression surgery or a laminectomy will
sometimes de-stabilize the spine and create the need for a
fusion to add stability. In these cases spinal
instrumentation (such as a small plate) can also be used to
help add stability to the spinal construct.
In addition to the above
back surgeries, there are numerous implants and spinal
devices as well as injections that can help people recover
from back and spinal cord injuries. These procedures
and devices can reduce pain cause by back injuries as well
as help reduce impairment. However, it is extremely
important when considering back surgery or other spinal
procedures to make sure that you have a competent doctor and
medical staff that you trust. A
failed back
surgery or defective medical device can cause more
impairment, pain, and health problems than none at all.
It is important to understand the risks of any back surgery
or medical treatment.
