Low back, Lumbar Injuries from accidents can involve damage to the muscles, ligaments, and nerves. It can also involve injury to the intervertebral disc which connects the bones (vertebrae) of the low back.

Low Back, Lumbar Injuries can result from a single traumatic event such as a car accident, motorcycle accident, car truck collision, or car pedestrian accident which can cause a rupture of the intervertebral disc in the low back. However, more commonly, the trauma acts as a triggering mechanism.  It produces underline biomechanical and biochemical changes which at first we can the disk structure causing what is sometimes known as an annular tear. The annular tear and progressively weakens and deteriorates, ultimately resulting in a lumbar disc bulging or herniation.
