The vertebrae of the spine are cushioned by spongy disks which act like little shock absorbers and keep the spine flexible. If one of these disks becomes damaged, either through wear and tear or some type of accident, it can bulge or break through its hard outer layer, which is called a herniated disk.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Broken bones and fractures are serious injuries. They can cause severe discomfort in mild cases and chronic pain or permanent disability in more extreme cases. Fractured or broken ribs can cause potential lung damage.

Burn injuries are often extremely painful and can require extensive medical and surgical treatment. Burn injuries are normally classified by degree, i.e. first, second and third-degree burns.

Muscular injuries are often caused by trauma resulting in the release of blood inside the muscle.
