What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A Spinal Cord Injury is defined as damage to either the spinal column or the nerve endings at the end of the spinal canal.

The brain and spinal cord make up the body’s Central Nervous System, which controls all muscle and nerve functions throughout the body. When the back or neck undergoes sudden trauma during an accident, it can cause the bones in the spinal cord, known as vertebrae, to fracture or dislocate. This type of injury can permanently damage the Central Nervous system and may disrupt the brain’s ability to control limbs and muscles.

The most common causes of Spinal Cord Injuries include:

  • Motor Vehicle Accidents
  • Falls
  • Birth Injuries
  • Sports Related Injuries
