Most Common Types of Spinal Injuries
Spinal injuries come in many forms. Some develop over time, a slow progression of wear and tear. Others strike in an instant through a misstep, a fall, or even a car accident. Each injury affects mobility, nerve function, and overall health in different ways. Some of the most common spinal injuries include:
- Herniated Disc: A damaged intervertebral disc pushes into the spinal canal, pressing against nerves and causing pain, weakness, or radiculopathy.
- Spinal Stenosis: The narrowing of the spinal canal compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots, leading to numbness, leg pain, and difficulty walking.
- Fractures: A broken vertebra can result from trauma, osteoporosis, or underlying pathology, increasing instability and risk of nerve damage.
- Myelopathy: Compression of the spinal cord affects muscle control, reflexes, and coordination, often leading to progressive weakness.
- Facet Joint Syndrome: Wear and tear in the facet joints causes stiffness and inflammation, making movement painful.
Early diagnosis matters. We work with our patients to get to the heart of your spinal cord issues and provide you with a customized treatment plan to address your problems at their source. Our spinal cord specialists evaluate symptoms, assess risk, and develop a strategy to restore function.
When You Should See a Spinal Specialist
Back pain lingers. Sometimes, it fades with rest. Other times, it signals something more severe, like structural damage, nerve compression, or even a disease. Recognizing when to see a spinal specialist could mean the difference between temporary discomfort and long-term complications. You should schedule an appointment with one of our spinal specialists if:
- Persistent Pain: If back pain, neck pain, or leg pain lasts longer than a few weeks, it may indicate an underlying spinal condition requiring evaluation.
- Radiating Pain or Weakness: Pain traveling down the arm or leg, often paired with numbness or muscle weakness, can signal nerve compression, radiculopathy, or myelopathy.
- Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control: A sudden inability to control urine or bowel movements may indicate cauda equina syndrome, requiring emergency surgery.
- Difficulty Walking or Standing: Neurogenic claudication or spinal stenosis could restrict nerve function if balance feels off or leg strength decreases.
- Worsening Symptoms Despite Treatment: When medication, physical therapy, or injections fail to relieve symptoms, spinal surgery may be the next step.
A spinal specialist at One Oak Medical assesses symptoms, examines pathology, and develops a customized treatment approach for pain management, therapy, or surgery. Early intervention reduces risk, restores function, and prevents further nerve damage.

How Spine Surgery Gets Performed
Dr. Mahmood can perform many types of spine surgery using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopic surgery. He utilizes computer-assisted imaging and state-of-the-art equipment to perform such procedures.
Advanced, minimally invasive techniques involve smaller incisions and faster healing times. You experience less post-operative pain because you’ve had less manipulation of the soft tissues surrounding your spine and spent less time in the operating room.
