The spinal cord is one of the most essential components in our body structure. It houses part of the central nervous system (CNS), which aids us with our reflexes, sensory processing, and many more functions relevant to our daily life. The spinal cord also supports our neck and head as well as keeping us upright and straight as a whole. A spinal cord injury is when some damage or fracture to the spinal cord affects its structure and function, and it can be extremely debilitating and life-changing. This is because it can affect the CNS which is in charge of motor and sensory function.
The cervical portion of the spine is the highest portion which includes seven vertebrae comprising the neck and upper back area. Spinal injuries in this region are considered one of the most severe since it is closest to the brain and any loss of movement or sensation that may result would affect the entire portion of the body below this high point of injury. A cervical strain is the tearing of tendons, fibrous tissues connecting muscle to bone, or muscles themselves in the cervical portion of the spine.
This injury is also referred to as whiplash, as well. It can heal on its own with time if the strain is minor, but more severe strains require more intense treatment and should be taken very seriously. The more severe cervical strains are characterized by more inflammation and pain, which also requires a longer recovery period. It may impair a person’s daily activities and lifestyle, so medical attention would help to ease that difficulty with the help of medications, muscle relaxers, rest, and physical therapy exercises.
One difficult aspect of this injury is that symptoms may not appear right away, so an individual may cause further damage to the injury by ignoring it. For this reason, it is important that it is treated immediately following an accident even if the individual does not feel any pain or stiffness afterward. Cervical strains should be considered very serious due to the risk of worsening the injury and the sensitive nature of the cervical spine.
