Spine and Spinal Cord Injury Are Not the Same Thing
A spine injury or back injury often refers to a ruptured disk, pinched nerve, or broken vertebrae. A spinal cord injury refers to an injury to the spinal cord itself (which is a cord approximately 18 inches long that extends from the base of the brain to the waist and is protected by vertebrae. In addition, a spinal cord injury (sometimes simply referred to as a spinal injury) also refers to an injury to the spinal nerves.
Injury to the spinal cord often results in paralysis. One of the most well-known individuals who suffered from a spinal cord injury was Christopher Reeves. Spinal cord injury is often caused from car accidents, slip and falls, or other trauma to the back and spine.
