Many people associate spinal cord injures with a broken back. A broken back refers to the fracture of the bones in the spinal column. This can but does not always involve a spinal cord injury. A spinal cord injury involves damage to the nerves that lie with in the spinal cord and carry signals to and from the brain.

In addition to paralysis, quadriplegia, and paraplegia, nerve damage to the spinal cord can have a wide range of effects:

• Loss of sensation
• Loss of motor function
• Low blood pressure
• Inability to regulate blood pressure
• Reduced control of body temperature
• Loss of bowel and bladder control
• Inability to sweat below the level of injury
• Chronic pain
