The nerves that run through the spinal cord serve as the communications conduit that controls muscular and tissue function. When the spinal cord is damaged, the resulting injuries can include paralysis, neuromuscular failure, and complete loss of motor functions.
Back and Neck Injuries
: Anatomically speaking, the back and neck are made of fragile bones, muscles, and tissues that essentially help you maintain a straight posture, stay erect while standing, and act as the powerhouse where all movement originates. Damages to the back or neck can result in pain and decreased range of motion. In severe cases, however, back and neck injuries can result in traumatic paralysis.
