What Are Spinal Cord Injuries?

Spinal cord injuries are those injuries that damage the backbone. The spinal cord stretches from the neck to the lower back, and an injury to any part of the spinal cord can cause permanent damage. In most circumstances, the body parts impacted most are those beneath the point of injury on the spine.

Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

There are three types of spinal cord injuries:

1. Anterior Cord Syndrome: This type of injury occurs when the blood supply to the anterior section of the spinal cord is cut off, resulting in loss of sensation or movement.

2. Central Cord Syndrome: As the most common spinal cord injury, central cord syndrome results when grey matter within the spinal cord sustains damage. This injury causes loss of mobility and sensation in the arms and hands.

3. Brown-Séquard Syndrome: If trauma impacts only one side of the spinal cord, it can result in loss of mobility or sensation on that side. Victims may also lose the ability to feel temperature changes and lack sensitivity to pain on the side of the spinal cord that was not affected by the trauma.

Common indicators of a spinal cord injury may include loss of sensation or paralysis in body parts beneath the point of impact as well as loss of motor control in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

Most Common Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries. Other common causes include:

• Falls down stairs or from heights

• Assault and other acts of violence

• Sports injuries

In a large majority of cases, the accidents that caused these serious injuries were the fault of another party. Negligent parties can be held liable for the victim’s damages.
