Spinal Cord Damage

The spinal cord can be damaged in many ways, producing various symptoms, depending on the location or level of spinal cord damage. The spinal cord can be damaged in an accident, compressed by blood or infection, damaged when its blood supply is cut off, or affected by herniated or bulging disks.
Spinal cord injuries can result in conditions such as:

  • Quadriplegia/tetraplegia
  • Paraplegia
  • Paralysis injuries
  • Loss of motor skills such as walking
  • Decline in sexual function
  • Loss of sensation in limbs or other body parts
  • Loss of manual dexterity
  • Loss of bowel and bladder function
  • Inability to breathe or swallow
  • Chronic pain
  • Inability to sweat below the injury
  • Loss of balance
