The spinal cord controls the communication between the brain and other organs and muscles that allows us to function and experience sensation. Spinal cord injury can occur from trauma, or diminished blood supply to the spinal cord. Trauma is not just direct trauma, like a car wreck or a fall, but also from surgical trauma, or other medical treatment that reduces blood flow to the spinal cord. Traumatic injuries and medical malpractice can result in permanent damage to the spinal cord and cause paralysis, intractable pain, and devastating disability.
