SPINAL CORD INJURY

​Few injuries cause the grave and serious consequences that a spinal cord injury does. A spinal cord injury is a neural injury which causes damage to the spinal cord and causes loss of sensation or motor control.  This can lead to a lifetime of disability and change the lives of those around you. What functions are affected depends on where along the spine injury occurs and how severe it is.

QUADRIPLEGIA TETRAPLEGIA AND PARAPLEGIA

Tetraplegia, also know as Quadriplegia, is paralysis that results in partial or total loss of use of all four limbs and torso. Quadriplegia can cause permanent damage to the spinal cord leading to a loss of sensation, movement, pain management , bladder and bowel control and sexual function.​

Paraplegia is similar but does not affect the arms.   The loss is usually sensory and motor which means that both sensation and control are lost. Paraplegia usually results from an injury to the spinal cord below the neck.
