We often see accident families and their loved ones look for answers about the severity of their spinal cord injury following the accident. One of the most frequently asked questions which we receive is how serious their spinal cord injury is. We are not doctors, but we can tell our clients that one of the keys to determining the severity of a spinal cord injury is the severity of the injury and the location of the injury on the spinal cord. We tell our clients that it’s very important to keep track of all of their medical appointments and not to miss any of them. We also tell them that it’s important to listen carefully to their doctors and other health care professionals.
A spinal cord injury is an injury to the nerves inside of the spinal cord, or to the vertebrae which protect that spinal cord. Injuries to the spinal cord can occur in many ways such as car accidents, motorcycle/bicycle accidents, boating accidents, slip & fall accidents or even violent attacks. The spinal cord is responsible for the body’s ability to move, perform functions, feel, even breath or sweat. A spinal cord injury can effect a person’s ability to think, walk, run, move arms/limbs, lose sensation in the body, or even eat. The spinal cord is a very important part of the body. The spinal column or the vertebrae protect the tiny nerve fibres of the spinal cord from being injured.
