Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. Frequent causes of damage are trauma (car accidents gunshots, slip and falls, motorcycle accidents,  etc.) or disease. 

The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In fact, in most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the damage to it results in loss of functioning.

Almost 11,000 people in the U.S. sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury each year, resulting in temporary or permanent sensory deficit, motor deficit.  The most common cause of SCI is motor vehicle crashes, accounting for at least 36 percent of these injuries .  Some of the injuries sustained related to SCI include: Broken back,  Spinal Fracture, Herniated Disc, Spinal Cord, Compression, Paralysis, Paraplegia, Quadriplegia, Fractured Vertebrae, to name a few.
