      Types of Spinal Cord Injuries

      There are two main types of spinal cord injuries: complete and incomplete. The difference is primarily based on the severity of the injury and the person’s ability to function. When a person has a complete spinal cord injury, they are fully unable to function below the point of injury. Those with incomplete spinal cord injuries, on the other hand, tend to have some sort of sensation or function below the injury.

      Diagnosis and Treatment

      Diagnosing a spinal cord injury may include X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs at first. After the initial swelling goes down, your doctor will perform more comprehensive exams to gauge the degree of injury you have. This may include a neurological exam as well as muscle tests and sensory tests.

      While there’s no way to reverse damage to a spinal cord, there are ways to manage it. Some treatment options include:

      • Immobilization. Traction can help stabilize your spine and bring it into proper alignment. A rigid neck collar or a special bed may be used.
      • Surgery. Surgery can help remove anything that is compressing the spine, such as bone fragments, herniated discs, and foreign objects. Surgery can also help stabilize the spine.
      • Experimental treatments. There may be experimental treatments to control inflammation and regenerate nerves. Ask your doctor what’s available in your situation.
