Spinal Cord Injury

Our spinal cord is about 18 inches in length and extends from the base of the brain. The nerves that are located in it are known as motor neurons or UMN’s in short. The function of these nerves is to carry messages back and forth from the brain to the spinal nerves along the spinal track. If you have an accident that causes damage or trauma to the spinal cord you run the risk of losing or impairing your mobility and feeling.

Some common causes of trauma to the spinal cord are road traffic accidents, falls and sports injuries. The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In many people with trauma to the spinal cord the spinal cord is in tact but the cellular damage caused results in a loss of function.

As we are all aware spinal cord injuries often have long term or even permanent complications. Due to this there has been improvements made so people with spinal cord injuries can get access to aggressive treatment and rehabilitation, which can minimise the damage done to the nervous system and even restore limited abilities.
