Spinal Cord InjuryThe spinal cord is the body's switchboard, sending important signals from the brain to our muscles. When an injury occurs to the spinal cord, it can disrupt a multitude of functions. Most spinal cord injuries are caused by vehicular accidents, falls, gunshots, and diving accidents, as well as disease (polio, spina bifida).
Some common ailments people with spinal cord injury experience include deep vein thrombosis, low blood pressure, and bed sores. Memory-foam products and leg-elevating wedges are particularly good for treating these ailments. |
