Common Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

During a significant accident, a sudden trauma to the neck, shoulders or back can do permanent damage to the spinal cord, an extremely delicate organ that is at the center of the nervous system. The diagnosis of a spinal cord injury is devastating news for the patient and his or her family.

Despite significant advances in medical science, if you’ve experienced spinal cord trauma, you may have to cope with the consequences of your injuries or paralysis the rest of your life. Surgery may be ineffective or not an option.

Any paralysis can leave a victim unable to manage day-to-day tasks, care for their family or continue in a position of employment. If you have been rendered paralyzed, you may be unable to move or use certain body parts. You may have a loss of bodily functions as well as loss of feeling over a large area of the body. Bladder management and bowel care are significant lifetime concerns of paralysis victims. Your home may no longer be suitable to your needs. With extremely rare exceptions, paralysis is usually permanent.

Spinal cord injuries are often life-altering. People suffering from a spinal cord injury will require extensive medical treatment, rehabilitative therapy and other long-term care.
