back injury
Lumbar region trauma
A back injury is damage to the muscles, bones, nerves, or other structures of the spine and surrounding area.
Back injuries range from mild strains to serious conditions like herniated discs or spinal cord damage.
They commonly result from lifting, falls, accidents, or repetitive stress: She's been out of work since the back injury.
In legal and insurance contexts, back injuries are notoriously difficult to verify, making them associated with fraudulent claims.
