Neck, Spinal Cord, and Back Injury in Alpharetta

An injury to your neck, spinal cord, and back can occur for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common causes include:

• Violent acts
• Knife and gunshot wounds
• Slips or falls
• Sports injuries
• Trampoline accidents
• Car accidents

Infections can also cause a spinal cord injury. If the wound is on or near the spinal cord, an abscess can form, resulting in additional trauma. Did you know some individuals may be more susceptible to neck, spinal cord, and back injuries than others? Men are often at a higher risk than women.

The symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the injury. However, if you experience a spinal cord injury or trauma to the neck and back, some symptoms you may experience often include:

• Muscle weakness
