What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function, such as mobility or feeling. The spinal cord is the complex bundle of nerves that transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When this pathway is disrupted, it can lead to severe consequences that may be temporary or permanent, affecting various aspects of an individual’s life.

Spinal cord injuries are categorized as either complete or incomplete. A complete injury occurs when there is a total loss of sensory and motor function below the level of the injury. In an incomplete injury, some function remains below the level of the injury, allowing for partial movement or sensation. Generally speaking, a cervical spinal cord injury affects the neck and can result in quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) and also affect critical functions like breathing and swallowing. A thoracic spinal cord injury impacts the upper and middle back, affecting the torso and legs, resulting in paraplegia (paralysis of the legs). A lumbar spinal cord injury occurs in the lower back and can affect the hips and legs, as well as bowel and bladder functioning and sexual function.

A spinal cord injury isn’t just a medical issue; it’s a life-altering event that impacts not just the injured person but their entire support system. These injuries often occur from falls, car accidents, or workplace incidents and can lead to varying degrees of paralysis or loss of bodily function.
