Should you suffer a Neck, Back or a severe Spinal cord injury in an accident, it may affect many aspects of your life. A Spinal cord injury may result in a permanent disability or loss of movement (paralysis). Many Spinal cord injuries result from accidents. Car accidents, Slip and fall accidents, Motorcycle accidents, Bicyclist accidents, as well as many other types of accidents can result in severe spinal cord injury.
A traumatic Neck, Back or Spinal cord injury may be caused by a sudden, traumatic blow to your spine resulting from an accident, such as car accident or slip and fall accident, which fractures, dislocates, crushes or compresses one or more of your vertebrae or nerves. It may also occur due to a wound suffered in an accident that penetrates or cuts your spinal cord. Damage can often occur over days or weeks, due to swelling, inflammation and fluid accumulating around or in your spinal cord.
A traumatic Spinal cord injury may result in damage to the nerves that pass through the injured area. An injury to a nerve may impair part or all of the corresponding muscles and nerves. This type of impairment usually involves an area below the injury site. A Neck injury (Often referred to as a Cervical spine injury) often affects sensation and/or movements of your arms and/ hands. A Cervical spine injury may even affect your breathing. A chest (often referred to as a Thoracic spine injury) or lower back (often referred to as a Lumbar spine injury) can affect both sensation and/or movement of your chest, abdomen, legs and/or feet. Severe Thoracic and/or Lumbar spinal cord injury may affect bowel and bladder control as well as sexual function. Spinal cord injuries may result in full or partial paralysis.
