What is a spinal cord injury?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) happens when the spinal cord gets hurt cutting off the brain’s connection to the body. How bad the injury is depends on how much damage there is and where it occurs. Damage higher up on the spinal cord has more serious effects. It can cause paralysis or numbness in both the upper and lower body. On the other hand, damage lower on the spinal cord might lead to paralysis or numbness just in the legs and lower body.
