Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury is a traumatic lesion to the spinal cord or the nerves along the spinal cord that may lead to sensory or motor deficiency. Nerve damage that occurs during a spinal cord injury may be temporary or permanent, but will usually require continual medical treatment to analyze and diagnose. Spinal cord injuries frequently result from motor vehicle accidents, work related accidents, slip and fall accidents, sporting accidents, and violent acts.
The symptoms associated with most spinal cord injuries can cause a great deal of pain and mental anguish for injury sufferers. Without ongoing medical supervision, spinal cord injury sufferer’s medical conditions may become worse over time, and lead to the development of more stressful symptoms.

- weakness in the limbs
- paralysis
- difficulties breathing
- numbness
- difficulty with sensory perception
