Spinal cord injuries usually occur in falls, traffic or sports accidents, and violent incidents like stabbings, shootings, and assaults.

When these nerves are damaged, the results are often tragic. If the doctor who treats you after an accident discovers a bulging disc, it usually means cervical radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy is pain from the C5, C6, and C7 vertebrae when nerve function is impaired by compression of a nerve root near the cervical vertebrae. An injury here can cause longterm chronic pain and a loss of feeling in different body parts.
