There are five spinal segments of the spine. They are actually very easy to keep straight. Here, the letter corresponding to the name of the segment describes where it is located in the body. The number referenced next to the letter tells the specific region pinpointed in the body, as is referenced for the area of pain.

1. The Cervical or neck area of the spine (C1 to C7) attaches your neck to the spine and is at the very top of the spine.
2. The Thoracic or middle back spine (T1 to T12) attaches the rib cage to the spine.
3. The Lumbar or lower back spinal area (L1 to L5) supports the spine and helps you bend and lift things in your daily life.
4. The Sacrum or hip area (S1 to S5) supports the pelvis in your body.
5. The Coccyx or tailbone have four vertebrae that are attached and fused as one piece, to make up the bottom of the spine and aid your bodily movements.

Now those symbols and numbers referencing the spine are much clearer! If your physician begins to refer to your back injury and talks about L1 or L3, then your injury is in the lumbar or lower back region. This is the region you will receive in injection of an epidural steroid. By contrast, if your physician discusses C1 or C2 areas of damage in your spine, this refers to the neck area. A referral of T7 refers to the thoracic or middle back area and so on.

Your car accident has hurt your spine, and you may be in excruciating pain as a result of the car crash. Epidural steroid injections are often given to people in their lumbar spinal area, as a way to relieve pain. This is considered a non-invasive treatment for serious lower back pain after a car accident. If you are given epidural steroid injections, it may help the experience of strong and powerful pain that radiates out to your body because of a back injury after a car crash. The epidural steroid injections will reduce pain, offer your body a chance to heal, and allow you to begin the physical therapy that you will eventually need to recover from your injury.

You will be given 1, 2, 3 or more epidural steroid injections in the course of your pain management treatment after your car crash. It is recommended that you can only get 3 to 6 epidural steroid injections in the course of one year. These injections may help stop the pain when given only 1 injection. But for pain that persists, this is considered a chronic condition, and more injections spread out over time need to be considered as a viable pain relief plan. If you have been told by your doctor that you will need to be given epidural steroid injections, you need to call us to discuss your case immediately. Your request for a lawyer will be honored when you give us a call. You will have the opportunity to sit down with an attorney to go over the serious nature of the recommendation by your doctor to start the course of receiving epidural steroid injections.

• Developing insomnia
• Increase in blood sugar
• Infection in the injection area
• Allergies to the medication
• Bleeding disorders

If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, you may have injured your back to the point where you need a facet block injection. The facet block injection is an injection that is similar to an epidural steroid injection. The difference in the facet block injection is that the injection is focused on the joints connecting the vertebrae. The facet joint injection goes directly into the facet joint, whereas epidural steroid injections go into the spine closer to the irritated nerves. This facet joint injection is given with local anesthesia.

If you have been injured in a car accident and your back is giving you excruciating pain, you may be referred by your doctor to have a facet joint injection. This injection will show that your pain is serious and will need other pain management to help you to fully heal.

People who have suffered a back injury as the result of an accident with a truck or motorcycle often need a trigger point injection in their back for pain. A trigger point itself is a localized muscle spasm, where the muscles contract or pinch on themselves. This pinching of the muscles causes lowered oxygen in the muscle area, prolongs healing, and often requires a trigger point injection.

The trigger point injection is a type of anesthetic or numbing agent that is injected into the trigger points causing trouble in your back. It is a type of steroid that is injected to determine if it can help identify the exact area where your back pain is radiating into your body. The trigger point injection is performed when the physician finds the trigger point, and puts a steroid into that region of the back. Your discharge paperwork will ask you to jot down when the pain comes and goes. This will help to know when you will need another dosage of the medication. If the pain comes back stronger after a trigger point injection, this is actually a normal occurrence.

Back injuries after a car accident with a truck or motorcycle are rarely easy to diagnose injuries. During the accident, your back took a beating, and now needs a long time to repair itself. You may need to have injections, steroid medication or physical therapy for the foreseeable future, based on the severity of your injuries.
