Car Accident Spinal Cord Injuries May Cause Permanent Paralysis

The word “paralysis” simply describes the loss of muscle function in some part of the body. Paralysis may affect any part of the body and may be caused by a wide range of injuries or illnesses, including traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, or disease.
When paralysis occurs after an injury, it is usually because the brain, spinal cord, or both have been damaged in a way that prevents the brain from communicating with a body part. Post-accident paralysis may be temporary or permanent. It may affect the entire body, just the lower half or one side of the body, or any other body part.
Those who suffer paralysis share several traits in common. They often face extensive medical care, including many sessions of physical therapy to maximize the functionality they have left and to learn new ways of doing basic tasks. They frequently struggle to do things that were once simple for them, and they may feel frustrated, angry, depressed, or hopeless – sometimes all at once. Adjusting to life with paralysis may take years.
