What is a Spinal Cord Injury?

Dr Rajput Ortho Centre18 Oct, 2024Health

A spinal cord injury (SCI) refers to damage to the spinal cord, leading to a loss of function, such as movement or sensation. It can result from trauma, diseases, or other conditions affecting the spinal cord. SCI occurs when the normal communication between the brain and body is disrupted due to this damage. This disruption can cause temporary or permanent changes in motor skills, sensory abilities, and other bodily functions.
