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 complete spinal cord injury is when the spine is fully compressed or fractured to the point that messages cannot be sent below the point of injury. These injuries result in complete loss of sensory and motor function beyond that point due to the damage to the nervous system. Complete injuries can result in paraplegia or quadriplegia and require a lifetime of recovery, daily assisted living conditions, and special equipment to continue their life.

An incomplete spinal cord injury occurs when the spine is not fully damaged and still retains some sensory and motor function. When an individual is in a physical accident and suffers an incomplete injury and gets a sense of the symptoms at the moment, it is extremely important to call 911 right away and get treated. By doing so, the injured person can avoid further damage and avoid turning the injury into a complete spinal cord injury.
