How spinal cord injuries happen
A spinal cord injury occurs as a result of a blow to the spine or impact to the spine that causes vertebrae fractures or dislocated vertebrae. In auto accidents or falls, the fault often lies with someone else who was careless or negligent.
If the spinal cord is injured or damaged, messages from the brain can get mixed-up or are prevented from reaching their intended destination. This can cause such symptoms as paralysis, loss of feeling in certain areas of the body and loss of reflex functions.
Spinal cord injuries can be very debilitating and can lead to secondary medical problems including infection, muscle spasms, loss of bodily functions, and over-sensitivity to temperature or pain in specific body parts.
Paralysis may involve the loss of movement in all four limbs (quadriplegia) or loss of movement in the lower half of the body (paraplegia).
