There are various types of spinal cord injuries, including the following:
- Cervical: impacts the head, neck and surrounding areas
- Lumbar: impacts the legs and hips
- Thoracic: impacts the chest and abdomen
- Sacral: impacts the thighs, pelvic region and buttocks
Although one part of the body may be specifically affected by a spinal cord injury, the loss of function often impacts the rest of the body – and the injured person’s ability to work and enjoy the life they once loved.
While a variety of accidents may result in spinal cord damage, these are the most common causes:
- Medical malpractice
- Slip and falls
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Defective products
- Gunshots
