Nerve Damage and Spinal Cord Injuries

Nerve damage is a permanent injury that can severely impact your life. Symptoms may develop gradually or immediately following your injury and include:

  • Chronic pain
  • Lack of full facial muscle functionality
  • Inability to move a body part with the same range of motion you previously had
  • Loss of bladder control
  • Numbness/loss of sensation in arms, legs, and extremities

If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you should see your doctor at once.

One of the most common causes of nerve damage is a spinal cord injury. Often after a spinal cord injury, you may develop a herniated disc which may pinch a nerve. In this situation, your nerve damage is actually a symptom of a much larger problem – your spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord injuries are often catastrophic in nature, resulting in drastic alterations to your daily life. If the injury is severe, you may require extensive medical treatment and long term care. This can place a serious emotional and financial burden on you and your family.
