Lumbar Injury Attorney - Buffalo, New York (NY)
Rochester, New York (NY) Lawyer Helping Lumbar Injury Victims
The lumbar spine consists of five bones or vertebrae in the lower back region, although some people actually have six vertebrae.
Lumbar spine trauma is common and can result from car accidents, sports injuries, workplace injuries, falls, and violence.
In the low back region, the most serious injuries involve fractures of the spine or disc herniations. Many of these can be treated without surgery, however, if your spine is not stable, if it collapses or if there is nerve damage, surgery may be necessary.
Surgery is performed for a number of reasons, but typically it's meant to take the pressure off the nerves and provide stability. When all necessary conservative steps have been taken without relief from pain, your doctor may recommend fusion surgery. A spinal fusion is when screws and rods are used to hold the spine back together. Bone grafts are used to allow the patient's bones to heal together.
