What are some of the most common causes of spinal cord injuries?
A spinal cord injury may be defined as damage to the spinal cord, resulting from direct trauma or indirectly when the surrounding bones, blood vessels or tissue is damaged. Motor vehicle accidents, including truck, motorcycle and car accidents, as well as sports accidents, falls from heights, and assaults form the most common causes of spinal cord injuries. This kind of injury may occur when the body is suddenly impacted or twists, which may cause damage to the nerves along the spinal cord.
Someone who faces this type of catastrophic injury may suffer from partial or total paralysis, depending on the level of damage to the spinal cord. The extent to which the body is affected varies upon the location of injury along the spine. For example, a spinal cord injury that occurred directly at the base of the neck could potentially affect the entire body below the neck, while an injury lower on the spine may affect the legs only.
