What is a spinal cord injury?
A spinal cord injury is damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal, such an injury often causes permanent changes in a person's strength, sensation and other bodily functions below the injury site.
Spinal cord injuries are separated into two categories:
-
Complete: If nearly all sensation and all ability to control movement are lost below the spinal cord injury, the injury is called complete.
-
Incomplete: If you still have some motor or sensory function below the injury, the injury is called incomplete.
Spinal cord injuries can cause:
-
Loss of movement
-
Loss of sensation
-
Inability to feel hot or cold
-
Loss of bowel or bladder control
-
Changes in sexual function
-
Intense stinging sensation
-
Breathing difficulties
-
Paraplegia
-
Quadriplegia
Emergency signs of a spinal cord injury after an accident include extreme pressure in the back, head or neck; incoordination or paralysis in any part of the body; loss of sensation in the extremities; loss of bladder or bowel control; impaired breathing; or an oddly positioned or twisted neck or back.
If you experience any of the above signs after an accident, seek medical help immediately as these may be signs of a spinal cord injury.
