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.

After experiencing a spinal cord injury, there are many treatment options that are dependent on the location and severity of the injury. Wheelchairs are not essential for everyone who experiences a spinal cord injury. Wheelchairs are used when the person who has sustained the injury has lost some motor functions and needs assistance with mobility. Since a spinal cord injury disrupts the CNS and can cause impaired motor controls and functions in the form of paralysis, a wheelchair serves as their way of moving around. Those with minor spinal cord injuries will very likely not require a wheelchair in their recovery period.
