Spinal Cord Injury

When it comes to an accident, a spinal cord injury can be one of the most devastating and life altering injuries. For many, a spinal cord injury can completely alter their way of life. Many times, these injuries are permanent. This can be difficult for anyone to have to deal with.

Spinal cord injuries are divided into two categories. Complete spinal cord injury results in the inability to move anything below the part of the spine affected. Incomplete spinal cord injury results in some functioning body parts below the injury point.

Incomplete spinal cord injury is far more common that complete spine injury. Complete spinal cord injury comes in three types tetraplegia, the most severe in which all limb use is lost, paraplegia involves losing complete movement and sensation in the legs, and triplegia which is typically a complication of incomplete spinal cord injury.
