Spinal Cord Injury
Every year over 1000 people in Canada suffer new spinal cord injuries. Most of these injuries are the result of car accidents, slip and falls, or workplace accidents. Sadly, the majority of those who suffer new spinal cord injuries are under the age of 30, and this can have a significant impact on their future opportunities and quality of life. However with the proper medical care and treatment, victims of spinal cord injuries have the opportunity to lead active, productive, and happy lives.
A spinal cord injury is damage to cells within the spinal cord or the severing of the nerve tracts that relay signals up and down the spinal cord. Damage to the spinal cord is usually caused by some type of trauma, like an auto accident, and results in the loss of function such as mobility or feeling. The severity of the injury depends upon the completeness of the injury as well as its location, or level, along the spinal cord.
Unfortunately, most spinal cord injuries leave the victim either quadriplegic or paraplegic, and in thus in need of serious medical and rehabilitative care.
