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.

The cervical portion of the spine is the highest portion which includes seven vertebrae comprising the neck and upper back area. Spinal injuries in this region are considered one of the most severe since it is closest to the brain and any loss of movement or sensation that may result would affect the entire portion of the body below this high point of injury.

Treatment for a cervical spinal injury would differ slightly depending on the specific nerves or bones affected, but it is more intense than lower spinal injuries. Generally, treatment will include something like a neck brace to immobilize the cervical spine and medications such as methylprednisolone to decrease inflammation. Surgery may also be required to realign, repair, and clean up the area around the point of injury. It is not uncommon for cervical spinal injuries to require special equipment, an adapted vehicle, and/or daily assistance with living for the remainder of their lives.
