Spinal Cord Injury

Iowa Personal Injury Attorneys Back, Neck, and Spinal Cord Injuries

Injuries to the back, neck, and spinal cord can be life shattering. Even minor spine injuries can affect almost every aspect of life. A herniated disc in the back can make it difficult to walk, sit or bend, and can cause excruciating pain in the back and down the leg. Compression or severing of the spinal cord can cause paralysis of the legs, feet, arms, and hands.
