Spinal Injury

A spinal injury is damage to the spinal cord that is occurs because of an accident or intentional act. There are two types of spinal injuries: a complete spinal cord injury and an incomplete spinal cord injury. In a complete spinal cord injury the victim is paralyzed below the level of the injury.
