Common Signs & Symptoms of Spinal Cord Trauma

A spinal cord injury is typically associated with back pain, paralysis and other life-altering conditions. Damage to any part of your spinal cord can result in permanent damage and changes in strength and bodily sensations. Common signs and symptoms of a spinal cord injury can include:

• Loss of movement in the upper body
• Loss of sensation, including the ability to feel heat and cold
• Loss of bowel or bladder control
• Pain or intense stinging along your spine
• Difficulty breathing and clearing secretions from your lungs

If you experience any of the signs and symptoms of a spinal cord injury above, contact an experienced chiropractor right away.
