Spinal Injuries
A spinal injury happens when the spinal column's vertebrae, ligaments, or discs are damaged. Falls, sports injuries, motor vehicle accidents, violence, birth injuries, and more can cause spinal injuries.
The National Spinal Injury Statistical Center (NSCI) indicates that well over 17,000 new cases of spinal cord injuries are reported every year in the United States. It is estimated that around 300,000 people are living with spinal injuries in the country.
