Neck, Spinal Cord, and Back Injury in Boston

Accidents are the most common cause of neck, spinal cord, and back injury. Vehicle accidents account for most of these injuries, followed by slips and falls. Sporting accidents and violent crime, especially those involving gunshot wounds, can also result in neck, spinal cord, and back injuries.

Some other causes include:

• Construction Site Accidents
• Defective Products
• Slip & Falls Accidents
• Medical Negligence

According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, approximately 255,000 people are suffering from neck, spinal cord, and back injuries in the United States. Approximately 12,000 additional injuries occur each year. This works out to around 1,000 injuries per month. Not only can the medical and physical consequences of a spinal cord injury be devastating, but the financial costs associated with extensive care and long-term rehabilitation can quickly add up. You may require disc replacement or neck fusion surgeries. Pain management and physical therapy are also common treatments.

Some spinal cord and back injuries require lifetime care, and the emotional and financial stress can be overwhelming. If your injury results in partial or total paralysis, you may be looking at modifications to your home. These are additional expenses often not covered by personal health insurance.
