SPINAL CORD INJURIES

Every year, over 11,000 Americans suffer spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis. These injuries are split relatively evenly between those that produce paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) and those that cause quadriplegia (paralysis of the upper and lower body). Needless to say, very frequently spinal cord injuries cause permanent and debilitating effects.

Many spinal cord injuries are caused by an automotive accidents. But they can also come by way of slip-and-fall situations, sports injuries, and incidents of violence. In these mishaps, damaged nerves, inflammation and pressure to the spinal cord, compression, and cutting of the spinal cord can cause conditions of paralysis.
