Spinal cord injuryA spinal cord injury is the result of trauma to the cells or nerves in the spinal cord. This damage can come in the form of bruising, compression or tearing. In extreme cases, a spinal cord injury can cause paralysis and damage to the sensory and reflex functions. 
SymptomsThese symptoms depend on the severity of the spinal cord injury. They can include difficulty breathing, pain in the injured area, bed sores, muscle spasms, sexual dysfunction and infections in the lung or bladder. TreatmentSpinal cord injuries require immediate treatment when they are severe. The neurosurgeon will determine the best treatment option for spinal cord injuries on an individual basis. These treatments can include adapting methods to relieve spinal cord compression, drug therapy and stabilizing the vertebrae. |
