The spinal cord is a complex part of the human body, and we are still learning new ways it impacts the body.

  • What Are the Major Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

    Spinal injuries can be caused by many things, but the leading cause of spinal injuries in the United States among older adults is motor vehicle crashes, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Falls, acts of violence, and sports are also major causes of spinal injuries in the U.S., but are more prominent causes among younger individuals. There are quite a few different ways one can end up with an injured spinal cord. Among this variety of causes are:

    • Car, truck, bus, and bicycle accidents;
    • Back injuries;
    • Medical malpractice;
    • Defective products;
    • Sporting injuries;
    • Boating accidents;
    • Criminal battery and violence;
    • Slips and falls;
    • Gunshot wounds;
    • Work-related accidents; and
    • Birth injuries.

      With this variety of causes, it’s no surprise that there are a lot of potential injuries a person can endure to their spinal cord, such as:

    • Quadriplegia;

    • Paraplegia;
    • Injured nerves;
    • Damaged discs;
    • Partial paralysis;
    • Fractured vertebrae;
    • Lacerations; and
    • Central cord syndrome, among other debilitating conditions.
  • Spinal Cord Injury Impacts

    A minor injury to the spinal cord may be better than a severe one, but it can still be quite painful, and may even lead to more severe injuries down the line. Injuries to the cervical spine (neck) typically radiate into the arms and hands. Injuries to the lumbar spine (lower back) can cause symptoms to develop in the legs. Spinal injuries can also cause incontinence, erectile dysfunction and other conditions.

    If the spinal cord is not severed, these symptoms may be alleviated by spinal surgery, including the removal of faulty discs and/or the fusion of two or more vertebrae together with wire or cadaver bone. In the event the spinal cord is severed completely, there is currently no procedure to mend it. These injuries can lead you permanently impacted physically – and financially, too. Medical bills can quickly pile up from your injuries, as well as the future expenses that those with extreme or catastrophic injuries will require.
