Calcification of the ligaments of the spine usually occurs in people over 50. The ligaments of the spine thicken and harden, which causes a narrowing of spinal canal called Spinal Stenosis. Since you had a curve of the spine (otherwise known as scoliosis), having an accident would cause more injury to the ligaments of the spine than if the spine was straight. Spinal stenosis can have symptoms of sciatica, and is treated well moist hot packs, trigger point therapy, and non aggressive manual medicine.
