The Common Causes of Spine Injury
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Strokes, most spinal cord injury in the United States results from motor vehicle accidents and slips and falls. Other factors that commonly contribute to spinal cord injuries include athletic competition, industrial accidents and acts of violence. The risk of spinal cord injury is higher for individuals between the ages of 16 and 30, and for persons over the age of 65. Failure to wear a seatbelt is also linked to the potential for spinal cord injury.
