Injuries to the spinal cord vary greatly in cause and severity. Spinal compression fractures are a common form of spinal cord injury, and frequently occur in older patients, often times as a result of osteoporosis. Spinal compression fractures occur when a buildup of hairline fractures in the spine cause vertebrae to collapse. Other kinds of spinal injuries may result from trauma, like car accidents or impact sports. Regardless of their severity, all spinal cord injuries require prompt attention by a medical pain specialist.
