A back injury resulting from an auto accident or motorcycle accident involves trauma to the bones (vertebra) in the back, and/or damage to or pressure on the nerve roots near those bones. The fracturing of the bone in one or more vertebra distinguishes a back injury from whiplash, which does not involve bone damage.

The two main types of back injury are known in medical terms as spondylolisthesis and cervical radiculopathy.

Spondylolisthesis: Fracture or breakage in the vertebra can cause it to shift backward, forward, or onto a bone mass below. This type of auto accident back injury may cause symptoms such as:

  • Lower back pain
  • Muscle tightness and stiffness
  • Pain in the buttocks
  • Pain radiating down the legs

Cervical Radiculopathy: Damage or disturbance of the nerve roots near the cervical vertebrae, causing compression or pinching of the nerve. This type of auto accident back injury is often referred to as a ruptured disc. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain that spreads into the arm, neck, chest, and/or shoulders
  • Muscle weakness
  • Numbness or tingling in fingers or hands
