Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries are most often caused by accidents, such as sports-related injuries, falls, accidental shootings, and boat, ATV, motorcycle, snowmobile, personal watercraft, and bicycle accidents. Trauma to the vertebral column can affect the ability of the spinal cord to send and receive messages from the brain to parts of the body that control motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. In some cases, the spinal cord may only be bruised or swollen, and the nerves gradually continue to work again over a period of time. In other instances where the spinal column has been severed, recovery is minimal. Injuries located close to the brain are more severe than injuries farther from the brain, and result in more loss of feeling and function.
