Types of Spinal Cord Injury
The spine can be injured in many ways. The bones of the spinal column themselves can suffer from damage, and the spinal cord or nerves can be pinched, stretched, or torn. If your vertebrae or nerves suffer from physical damage in a rollover accident, the consequences of these injuries is often life-altering. Spinal cord injuries can be:
- Complete- All sensory and motor function below the injury site is lost.
- Incomplete- There may be some residual function or sensation below the place of injury.
Paralysis is one of the most common side effects of complete injury. Paraplegia and quadriplegia will remove an individual’s ability to move voluntarily from the waist or neck down, respectively. However, incomplete injuries can also leave a person with permanent movement or sensory problems.
