The spinal cord is one of the most essential components in our body structure. It houses part of the central nervous system (CNS), which aids us with our reflexes, sensory processing, and many more functions relevant to our daily life. The spinal cord also supports our neck and head as well as keeping us upright and straight as a whole. A spinal cord injury is when some damage or fracture to the spinal cord affects its structure and function, and it can be extremely debilitating and life-changing. This is because it can affect the CNS which is in charge of motor and sensory function.
The symptoms of a spinal cord injury depend in part on the location of the injury, the severity of the injury, and the individual’s age. Certain symptoms also may manifest over an extended period of time and may not appear immediately following the accident. However, some common symptoms of spinal cord issues may include the following:
- Extreme pain or pressure in the back, neck, or shoulders
- Loss of range of motion or movement in the spinal region
- Loss of sensation or altered sensation in the spinal region
- Loss of control of bladder and/or bowel control
- Tingling or numbness in the arms, hands, legs, feet, and/or back
- Changes in sexual function or fertility
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing
- Difficulty with balance
- Exaggerated reflexes or muscle spasms
- General weakness
- Headaches
