How is a spinal cord injury caused?

 

A spinal cord injury (SCI) usually results from an acute traumatic event to the spinal column. Each year, 12,000 to 15,000 Americans sustain spinal cord injuries. Motor vehicle accidents account for nearly half of spinal cord injuries, followed by falls and gunshot injuries. Other causes of SCI include infections, multiple sclerosis, or tumors. Typically, as the point of injury to the spinal cord moves upward, the degree and extent of bodily function loss increases.
