Spinal injuries refer to damage to the spinal cord or surrounding structures, often resulting from trauma, such as falls, car accidents, or sports injuries. These injuries can lead to varying degrees of impairment, including loss of movement, sensation, or function below the injury site. The severity of a spinal injury is classified as either complete or incomplete. A complete spinal injury results in total loss of function below the injury level, while an incomplete spinal injury allows for some preserved movement or sensation. Prompt medical attention is crucial for managing spinal injuries and minimizing long-term effects.
