Spinal Cord Injury

What Is Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury happens when the spinal cord is damaged due to an accident, fall, sports injury, or other causes. The spinal cord carries messages between the brain and body, so an injury can affect movement, sensation, and body functions. Depending on the level and severity, SCI may cause partial or complete loss of movement and feeling below the injury.

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injury

  • Severe back or neck pain
  • Loss of movement in arms or legs (paralysis)
  • Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Difficulty breathing or coughing (in higher-level injuries)
  • Weakness or poor coordination

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

  • Trauma – Road accidents, falls, sports injuries, violence
  • Spinal tumors – Pressing on the spinal cord
  • Spinal infections – Causing swelling and pressure
  • Degenerative changes – Severe disc disease or arthritis narrowing the spinal canal
  • Surgical or medical complications – Rare but possible

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of spinal cord injury if you:
  • Drive or ride two-wheelers frequently
  • Play high-impact sports
  • Have weak bones (osteoporosis)
  • Work in jobs with a risk of falls or heavy lifting
  • Have spinal diseases or previous spine surgery

Diagnosis

Doctors may recommend:
  • Physical exam – Checking movement, sensation, and reflexes
  • X-rays – To look for fractures or dislocation
  • MRI – To see spinal cord compression, swelling, or bleeding
  • CT scan – For detailed bone and injury view

Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury

  • Emergency care – Immediate immobilization and stabilization to prevent further damage
  • Medicines – To reduce swelling and protect nerves
  • Surgery – To remove pressure (tumor, disc, bone fragment) and stabilize the spine with screws/rods
  • Rehabilitation – Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle support to maximize recovery
  • Assistive devices – Braces, wheelchairs, or walking aids if needed

Advanced Treatment With O-arm® O2® Imaging

At Indospine Hospital, we use the O-arm® O2® Surgical Imaging System to make spinal cord injury surgeries safer and more accurate:
  • Real-time 2D and 3D spine imaging during surgery
  • Precise screw and implant placement for stabilization
  • Better visualization of injured areas
  • Reduced risk of complications and repeat surgeries
  • Faster recovery and improved outcomes

FAQs on Spinal Cord Injury

1. Can spinal cord injury be cured?
There is no complete cure yet, but with early treatment and rehabilitation, patients can recover significant function and live independently.
Road traffic accidents and falls are the leading causes worldwide.
Immediately. Early care within the first few hours can greatly improve recovery chances.
Not always. Surgery is needed if the spinal cord is compressed or if the spine is unstable.
It depends on the severity. Some patients recover with rehab and treatment, while others may need support devices.
