Aside from Whiplash, lower back injuries are among the most common injuries sustained in a car accident, mostly lumbar strains and sprains.  Back injuries in general are explained below, detailed information about the different areas of your spine, most common damage and treatment options will be explained in more detail as we continue to develop this website.

Back injuries can result in serious and sometimes debilitating pain in the larger muscles of the lower back.  This type of injury can also be difficult to diagnose or may be misdiagnosed if there is an underlying disc injury that has not been identified. Pain can be felt on one or both sides of the lower back and may worsen with activity, or when first getting up in the morning and can also cause nighttime muscle spasms.
