Lumbar Spine - Legal Advice

Lumbar spine Injury Lawyer

One of the more common injuries is an injury to someone’s back. These injuries can range from mild discomfort to completely debilitating.

Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves at the level of the lumbar vertebra. It can be very painful and may require surgery. 

A herniated disc is a back condition that occurs when the gel-like middle of a disc ruptures through a weak area in the tough outer wall, similar to the filling being squeezed out of a jelly doughnut. Low back or leg pain may result when the disc material touches or compresses a nearby spinal nerve. Conservative nonsurgical treatment is the first step to recovery. With a team approach to treatment, 80% of people improve in about 6 weeks and return to normal activity. If you don’t respond to conservative treatment, your doctor may recommend surgery.
