Learning about Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) occur due to trauma that damages any part of the spinal cord or nerves running to the end of the spinal canal. SCI tends to create irreversible alterations in strength, sense, and function of the body below the injury location. The most frequent causes of spinal injury include:
- Car accidents (especially high-impact crashes)
- Truck crashes (these crashes tend to cause tremendous impact force)
- Motorcycle crashes (lack of protection increases the incidence of injury)
- Slip and falls (from heights or on slippery floors)
- Industrial accidents (construction falls, accidents from heavy machines)
- Accidents that occur while participating in sporting activities (contact sports, diving accidents)
- Violent crime (shootings, assaults)
Spine injuries can range from herniated discs and vertebral fractures to complete or incomplete paralysis (quadriplegia or paraplegia). Regardless of the severity level, in most instances, they require large amounts of medical care, rehabilitation, and lifetime therapy–costs which can quickly become astronomical.
