Effects of a Spinal Cord Injury

The affects of a spinal cord injury or back injury can vary greatly. Most people think of paralysis, quadriplegia, or paraplegia, but a spinal cord injury can also cause:

• Loss of feeling or persistent tingling
• Weakness in hands, arms, or legs
• Limited range of movement
• Inability to walk long distances or stand for any length of time
• Nerve impingement or sciatica
• Pain that can interfere with work and sleep

Resources for Recovery

If you suffered a serious head, neck, or traumatic spinal cord injury, you may need vocational rehabilitation, job retraining, and adaptive equipment in order to work again.
