What Is A Spinal Contusion? 

Spinal contusions happen when the spinal cord is bruised. This can often cause swelling and bleeding from blood vessels near the injured area. When the spinal cord is pulled, twisted sideways, or compressed, spinal contusions can occur, causing excess strain on tissues, pinching nerves, and impairing blood supply, as well as damaging ligaments, discs, and bones. Spinal contusions can cause spinal compression as a result of the pressure on the spinal cord. Spinal decompressions and manipulations have been shown to reduce swelling and ease discomfort of spinal contusions.

What Causes Spinal Contusions?

From lifting weights incorrectly to being involved in a automobile accident, many incidents can cause spinal contusions. While the most common causes of spinal contusions are car wrecks and falls. If you've been in a wreck or had a fall recently and find yourself struggling to walk, having increased headaches, and suffering pain and discomfort along your spine, you may be dealing with a spinal contusion. Call us at 609-386-7737 to schedule an appointment today.
