I doubt it's a spinal injury. How long have you had the fish? How long have you been trying to feed him the food? What brand of food is it?

Bettas can be picky eaters sometimes, but he should eventually figure out that if he doesn't eat he's going to starve. Depending on the brand, you might also want to try another brand of food as I've noticed many bettas having problems with particular brands of food.
