SPINAL CORD INJURY: GET THE FACTS

Today in the United States, as many as 400,000 people are living with spinal cord injuries. Spinal cord injuries are the number one cause of paralysis. The two types of spinal cord injury are complete (traumatic), and incomplete (non-traumatic). Complete or traumatic injuries result in paraplegia or tetraplegia.

WHAT ARE COMMON SPINAL INJURIES?

The spine is the most important support structure in the body. It is a column stretching from the base of your skull all the way to your tailbone. You can injure the different parts of your spine in different ways. They include:

The vertebrae – The vertebrae are the individual parts that make up the whole of the spine. Individual vertebrae can be broken, directly impacting the bone, or compromised to cause injury to the surrounding nerves or the spinal cord.
The spinal cord – The spinal cord is nerve tissue that connects the brain to the whole of the body, running through the protective vertebral column. Injury to the spinal cord can result in partial or complete paralysis.
The lumbar spine – The lumbar region is the lower portion of your back which is commonly injured in lifting or pressure injuries. Injury can cause lifelong pain and difficulty with many kinds of physical activity.
The cervical spine – The cervical spine constitutes the first few vertebrae below the brain. You probably think of it as the neck. Neck injuries can include whiplash from car crashes, sprains, and pinched nerves. Some of these can cause persistent pain and disability.
The vertebral discs – Vertebral discs sit between each vertebra to both hold the spine together and to protect each vertebra from rubbing against the others. Damaging or displacing a disc, also known as “slipping a disc,” results in intense pain and difficulty moving.

These are only some of the many spinal injuries that can occur.
