Incomplete vs. Complete Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are divided into two categories:

Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries: In incomplete spinal cord injuries, some connections between the spinal cord and the brain remain intact. As a result, victims often retain some level of function, movement, and sensation, although these capabilities may be limited at and below the injury site.

Complete Spinal Cord Injuries: In contrast, complete spinal cord injuries involve the complete severance of communication between the spinal cord nerves and the brain. Such injuries frequently lead to partial or total permanent paralysis, as well as the loss of sensation and function.

The location and severity of the injury are vital factors in determining the effects experienced by a spinal cord injury victim. However, most victims endure substantial physical pain, numbness or tingling in their extremities, loss of sensation, loss of function, and/or paralysis, among other consequences.

Common Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can impact the cervical (neck), thoracic (middle), lumbar (lower), or sacral (pelvic) spine. The location of the injury significantly influences the symptoms and consequences of the injury.

Some common examples of spinal cord injuries include:

• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia/tetraplegia
• Slipped discs
• Ruptured or herniated discs
• Spinal concussions and contusions
• Penetrating injuries
• Whiplash

These and other spinal cord injuries frequently result from motor vehicle accidents, including car, motorcycle, and significant truck accidents. Slip and fall incidents also contribute to a substantial number of spinal cord injuries each year, as do sports-related accidents and acts of violence, such as assault.
