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 sacral portion of the spine is the portion of the spinal cord between the lower back and the coccyx (tailbone) and it consists of five fused vertebrae. These injuries are rare and are not considered life-threatening, but it could affect sexual organs since it is around the pelvic region. Damage to this area mostly affects the hips, groin, back of the thighs, and buttocks. The treatment for a sacral spine injury depends on the severity of the damage.

Treatment will likely consist of anti-inflammatory medications such as methylprednisolone to help ease the pain in the spinal cord. Surgery may be required to decompress the spine, relieve the pressure on the nerves, and repair the injured area. Physical therapy is also a great treatment to help a patient to strengthen their muscles and regain mobility of the affected area. After early and regular treatment is implemented, the patient will likely be able to live a normal life with minimal assistance. Of course, severe injuries would require more assistance with daily activities.
