Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury occurs when a traumatic event, such as a car accident or sports accident, damages the spinal cord. Depending on the site of impact, spinal cord injuries can cause paralysis from the waist down or from the chest and neck down.

The damage is caused by bone fragments, disc material, or ligaments that bruise or tear the spinal cord tissue. The nerve cells can no longer carry signals up and down the spinal cord between the brain and the rest of the body.
