Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can happen any time there is an impact or injury strong enough to cause the spinal cord to swell, setting off a chain of events that renders the spinal cord tissue dead and stripped of insulation. These reactions include loss of blood flow, a flood of neurotransmitters, and an invasion of immune cells which can poison the area resulting in nerve cell damage.

Common causes of spinal cord injury are:

  • Auto accidents: Car accidents are the leading cause of spinal cord injuries due to the numerous ways an impact can jerk, twist, suspend, puncture or compact the body.
  • Falls: A seizure, medical event, slip down stairs or off a raised area can result in a catastrophic spinal cord injury.
  • Gunshot wounds: A direct hit or a sweeping gunshot like that of a shotgun can cause serious damage the spinal cord.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycle accidents are notoriously more detrimental to the body than auto accidents because of the lack of protection from other riders, drivers, objects and the road.
  • Medical or surgical complications or accidents: Medical error or mishaps can often cause serious injury, especially when a doctor or caregiver is working in or around the spinal cord.
  • Fights or Intentional harm: Fighting, stabbing or any intentional harm done from one person to another can result in a catastrophic spinal cord injury.
