Common Causes Of Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord damage occurs when the vertebral column gets impacted. Traffic accidents are a common cause. The high speeds and sheer force involved in motor vehicle collisions or bicycle accidents can be a recipe for back, neck and spine injuries.
Other causes include serious falls due to dangerous property conditions or inadequate safety measures at construction sites. Diving accidents, trampoline accidents, sports accidents and shootings can also cause spinal cord injuries.
Severity Of Spinal Cord Injuries
Some spinal cord injuries are worse than others. They are generally categorized into two types:
- Complete injuries result in permanent, total loss of sensation and function below the site of the injury, affecting both sides of the body. These are the most serious spinal cord injuries. They involve paraplegia (paralysis of the lower extremities) or tetraplegia/quadriplegia (paralysis of the upper and lower body).
- Incomplete injuries result in partial loss of function or sensation, or loss of function that affects only one side of the body. These injuries are further categorized according to their severity.
With both types of injuries, the fallout can be extreme, resulting in major changes to your life at every level. We understand the devastating toll that devastating injuries like these take on survivors and their loved ones, and we are here to help.
