Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
What is a Spinal Cord Injury? An SCI damages the spinal cord, disrupting the brain’s communication with the rest of the body. This can cause loss of movement, sensation, and bodily function, depending on the injury’s severity and location.
Types of Spinal Cord Injuries We Handle
- Paraplegia: Paralysis of the lower body due to damage in the thoracic, lumbar, or sacral spine.
- Quadriplegia (Tetraplegia): Paralysis affecting all four limbs and often organ function, caused by cervical spine injuries.
- Incomplete vs. Complete Injuries: Some victims retain partial movement or sensation; others lose all function below the injury site.
- Spinal Fractures & Herniated Discs: These injuries may not cause full paralysis but can still cause chronic pain and major mobility issues.
- Nerve Damage & Mobility Impairments: Chronic pain, muscle weakness, and coordination loss are common challenges.
Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: High-speed crashes and rollovers are leading causes of SCIs.
- Medical Malpractice: Surgical errors, delayed diagnosis, or improper treatment can cause spinal injuries.
- Workplace & Construction Accidents: Falls, equipment malfunctions, and unsafe conditions often result in SCIs.
- Slip and Fall Accidents: Negligent property maintenance can lead to serious spinal trauma.
