Different Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

Not all back or spinal cord injuries are the same. Depending on the severity, these types of injuries can result in total paralysis below the affected area and the loss of sensory function.

Generally, spinal cord injuries can be classified in two ways:

• Incomplete: An incomplete spinal cord injury can vary, but most will generally have some motor or sensory function below the injury.
• Complete: A complete spinal cord injury results in total loss of one’s ability to control movement below the affected area.

Additionally, both types of injuries are often accompanied by a plethora of other symptoms, including:

• Trouble breathing
• Loss of bowel and bladder control
• Coughing
• Sexual dysfunction
• Infertility
• Altered sensation
• Spasms and exaggerated reflexes
