About Spinal Cord Injuries
Spinal cord injuries involve a traumatic injury to the critical nerve distribution system of the central nervous system. Spinal injuries affect sensory, motor, and reflex capabilities and, in the most severe cases, cause paraplegia, tetraplegia, or quadriplegia. Even less severe spinal cord injuries can have an impact on a person’s ability to control their limbs, motor skills, bowels, and bladder.
According to government and insurance industry statistics, as many as 350,000 Americans are currently suffering from the effects of a prior spinal cord injury, and nearly 17,000 new spinal cord injuries happen in the U.S. each year.
