LUMBAR TRAUMA

Trauma to the lumbar spine is usually the result of a fall or motor vehicle accident. Trauma to this area usually causes a compression fracture and the injury most frequently occurs at the thoracolumbar junction. Treatment depends on the severity and location of the injury but can include pain medication, physical therapy or surgery.
