The primary cause of spinal cord injuries, one of the most devastating and life-altering injuries known, is automobile accidents. Falls, sports-related injuries and violence are also major causes of injuries to the spinal cord.

Trauma to nerves carrying sensory and motor sensation to and from your brain deprives you of feeling and movement. Damage to the spinal cord is almost always a life-changing event. One of the cruelest ironies of a spinal cord injury is that people in the prime of their lives are most frequently the victims. Males between the ages of sixteen and thirty years of age, account for 82% of new spinal cord injuries each year.

Any severe blow can cause a spinal cord injury. A fall from a ladder at a work site, or a defective car seat belt that fails can result in a spinal cord injury. The extent of the injury depends on the level of the spinal cord injured.
