Life After a Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury can change your life permanently. You may need personal assistance, medical devices, physical therapy, and a lifetime of medical care. You may suffer from paraplegia (paralysis of the lower body) or quadriplegia (paralysis of all four limbs). Even “incomplete” spinal cord injuries can cause serious, lasting impairment.
