What is it?

Any damage to the spinal cord, through trauma, disease, damage or surgery can be called a spinal cord injury. The type of spinal cord injury depends on the location and the severity of the injury.

Injuries can be complete or incomplete with therapy having a positive impact on both.

 

Following a spinal cord injury you may experience:

- weakness

- changes in sensation

- loss of joint range

- pain

- reduced fitness levels
