Consequences of a Spinal Cord Injury

The consequences of a spinal cord injury can have a significant impact on your life.

The spinal cord carries commands from your brain to your muscles. When it is damaged, you are likely to experience problems controlling your limbs and digits. This can make it hard for you to move, lead to muscle weakness, and can cause muscles to spasm or respond with exaggerated movements in reflex actions. When you lose control of the muscles that regulate breathing, you might have to be put on a ventilator.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries can occur for many common reasons, such as:

By far, the most common causes of spinal cord injury are vehicle accidents and falls. Together, these account for about 70% of all spinal cord injuries. Often, these injuries are preventable with proper safety equipment and attention. Violence causes about 15% of spinal cord injuries, usually due to gunshot wounds. While medical procedures account for less than 5% of all spinal cord injuries, they are almost entirely preventable.
