SPINAL CORD INJURIES
Committed to excellence in Personal Injury and Commercial Litigation.
Spinal cord injuries can profoundly impact a person's life and lead to a wide range of physical, emotional, and financial challenges. These types of injuries can occur due to a traumatic event such as a car accident, fall, or sports-related incident and can cause damage to the vertebrae, discs, and nerve tissue in the spinal cord.
Symptoms of a spinal cord injury can vary depending on the severity and location of the damage. Some common symptoms include loss of movement, sensation, and feeling in the affected area, chronic pain, muscle spasms, and difficulty with bladder and bowel control. In severe cases, a spinal cord injury can lead to complete paralysis and loss of bodily function below the injury site.
Treatment for a spinal cord injury may include surgery to stabilize the spine and prevent further damage and rehabilitation to help the victim regain as much function as possible. Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and other repair forms may be necessary to enable the victim to adjust to life with a spinal cord injury and learn how to manage the symptoms. Medications may also be prescribed to manage pain and other symptoms.
The recovery process for a spinal cord injury can be long and complex, and many victims require ongoing care and support. This can include in-home care, assistive devices, and modifications to the home and vehicle to make them more accessible. In addition to physical challenges, spinal cord injuries can lead to emotional and psychological difficulties such as depression, anxiety, and a loss of independence.
