What is a spinal cord injury?

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. A severe spinal cord injury has the potential to leave a person paralyzed from the neck down and paralyzed in all four limbs, known as quadriplegia. The symptoms of a spinal cord injury immediately following an accident include extreme back pain or pressure in the back, neck, or head; impaired breathing; numbness and tingling sensations in your limbs; and loss of bladder or bowel control.

 

They can be either complete or incomplete injuries. A complete injury is when it results in total loss of all motor and sensory functions below the level of injury. An incomplete injury is when there is still some motor and/or sensory function below the level of injury. While 85% of those with spinal cord injuries who survive the first 24 hours are still alive 10 years later, about 1 in 8 spinal cord injury victims have the chance of walking again. If you believe that you or a loved one has experienced a spinal cord injury, you should get it immediately treated by a doctor.
