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.

While spinal cord injuries do have the potential to alter a person’s life dramatically, the outlook for this injury is not necessarily as bad as many people believe. The severity of the damage is essential to know how you may be able to recover. Mild spinal cord injuries that have not done intense damage to the spinal cord can be rehabilitated and a person can adjust back to their normal life with time and the right treatment. Their treatment may consist of medications, rehabilitation, and/or surgery over a period of months or possibly years until they get back to normal.

Meanwhile, severe spinal cord injuries that inflict a large amount of damage on the spinal cord and in sensitive areas (which are typically considered areas that are higher up on the spine) can be very difficult to adjust to. These injuries are unlikely to get better over their lifetime since there is no cure. There are more intense treatment options, such as surgery to stabilize the spine and repair the area, administering steroid medications, and continuous forms of therapy and rehabilitation to strengthen muscles and mobility. Special equipment such as wheelchairs or walkers also may be necessary depending on the severity of the paralysis. In the worst cases, death is also a possibility. The key is to seek treatment as soon as possible after an accident in order to prevent any further damage and get diagnosed and treated right away.
