A member asked:
Does it take a lot for a spine to become dislocated or fractured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it does take a good bit of force for a spinal segment to fracture or dislocate in normal situations. There are patients, however, that have bone density abnormalities such as osteoporosis, and some of these patients can sustain a vertebral fracture with even s minimal cough or sneeze.
