The spinal cord is one of the most essential components in our body structure. It houses part of the central nervous system (CNS), which aids us with our reflexes, sensory processing, and many more functions relevant to our daily life. The spinal cord also supports our neck and head as well as keeping us upright and straight as a whole. A spinal cord injury is when some damage or fracture to the spinal cord affects its structure and function, and it can be extremely debilitating and life-changing. This is because it can affect the CNS which is in charge of motor and sensory function.

Studies found that car accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries in the United States year-after-year. The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCIC) found that motor vehicle accidents are the most common cause at 38%. The reason for this is that the impact of the collision can cause a person to suffer from a strong and heavy blow to the back as they are jerked back-and-forth in their seat. The pressure and impact can cause serious compression fractures and damage some parts of the spinal cord and its surrounding nerves. Or, in a very serious accident, the impact with the ground if a person is ejected from their car can be extremely damaging to the back and thus the spinal cord.
