Spondylosis Spondylosis can lead to abnormal growths (bone spurs) on the vertebrae, spinal osteoarthritis, chronic pain, and disability. There are three types of spondylosis. These include cervical spondylosis, which affects the cervical spine of the neck. Thoracic spondylosis affects the thoracic spine of the mid and upper back, and lumbar spondylosis affects the lumbar spine of the lower back.

Common Spinal Injuries, Symptoms and Treatment Thoracic strain may occur when ligaments become torn or damaged within the cervical spine (the upper back). When excessive force is applied to a joint, the ligaments that hold the bones together may become torn or damaged. The seriousness of the sprain depends on how badly the ligaments are torn.his causes pressure on the spinal cord and pain to the patient. The most common symptom of a ruptured disc is sciatica, a sharp pain from the buttocks to the back of one leg. Other symptoms include weakness and tingling in one arm or leg, the loss of bladder/bowel control, or a burning neck pain.

Human Spine and Spinal Cord Picture C1 - S5 Vertebra While some fractures are very serious injuries that require emergency treatment, other fractures can be the result of bones weakened by osteoporosis. Most spinal fractures occur in the thoracic (midback) and lumbar spine (lower back) or at the connection of the two (thoracolumbar junction). Treatment depends on the severity of the fracture and whether the patient has other associated injuries.

Thoracic Spine Fracture Thoracic spine fractures are frequently caused by an acute traumatic event such as a fall from height or a high speed accident. Another very common cause is osteoporosis, in which a compression fracture can occur with little to no trauma because of the poor bone quality (please see section on compression fractures and osteoporosis).

- Types of Spine and Spinal Cord Tumors. Like brain tumors, spinal tumors are caused by abnormal cell growth, either in the spine or next to the spine. Researchers are unsure what causes the cells to grow abnormally, but the tumors can either become benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). While rare, these types of tumors can be extremely serious.

Neck Injuries from Jiu-Jitsu The most common though that I see in BJJ is the cervical sprain or strain. The cervical spine is the most mobile segment of the spine however it puts it at a high risk of injury. Cervical sprains/strains are soft tissue injuries. A strain is linked to muscle, while a sprain is linked to tendons.
