A spinal cord injury is one of the most devastating, life-changing injuries a person can suffer. Unlike a brain injury, a back or spinal cord injury is apparent immediately. In the most severe cases, it results in total or partial paralysis. But even in less severe cases, a back injury can leave you with chronic pain, vulnerable to further back injury in the future.

Back Injuries and Spinal Cord Injuries

• Quadriplegia, also called tetraplegia,is the paralysis of the arms and legs and, in extreme cases, can impair the ability to breathe on one's own. Medical bills will be extensive and people who have suffered such a serious injury will need financial support to pay for adaptive equipment and rehabilitative care.
• Paraplegia is a paralysis that affects the legs and lower body. Although the injured person will be able to do many more things for him or herself, they will still require extensive rehabilitation and adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs, specially outfitted vans, home access ramps, and other home adaptations.
• Back injuries that don't result in paralysis may still result in lifelong pain, diminished range of motion, loss of strength, and the need for rehabilitation and adaptive equipment.

Auto accidents and motorcycle accidents are among the primary causes of spinal cord injuries, but slip and fall and trip and fall accidents are also common causes of back and disk injury.
