What if the cleric isn't around when it happens? I mean if you take an ax to the spine and don't run into a cleric for 3 years can they do anything? I would probably say no.
There is nothing in the rules as written that prevents it
Edit: forgot i am not in the dnd community
Well, i'd say that it probably depends on the kind of damage, and how well it has healed. I could see a method similar to rebreaking bones that haven't healed correctly (IRL), where a group of medical professsionals, magical and not, just hit you with an axe in the same spot, to try and get the spine to to heal before the surrounding tissue. Maybe.
