What is a spinal cord injury?

A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord due to trauma, disease, or degeneration. It can lead to a partial or complete loss of function below the level of injury, affecting movement, sensation, and autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion, and circulation.

Where the injury sits on the spine, and whether it's complete or incomplete, shapes what recovery looks like. We build your plan around your specific level and goals.

Know the landscape

Levels of spinal cord injury.

The higher the injury on the spine, the more of the body it tends to affect.

Cervical (C1–C8)

Neck and upper body. The most severe level — can cause quadriplegia / tetraplegia and may affect breathing.

Thoracic (T1–T12)

Often results in paraplegia while preserving arm and hand function. Core stability and balance are affected.

Lumbar (L1–L5)

Partial or complete leg paralysis; arms and core are usually spared. May affect bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

Sacral (S1–S5)

The least common level. Affects the hips, legs, and pelvic organs — many people can still walk.

Paraplegia, quadriplegia, complete & incomplete.

Paraplegia affects the lower half of the body, with the arms and hands spared — typically from thoracic, lumbar, or sacral injuries. Quadriplegia (tetraplegia) affects all four limbs and the torso, from cervical injuries, and may require breathing support.

A complete injury means no sensation or movement below the level of injury. An incomplete injury means some function remains, and that remaining function is often where rehabilitation makes the biggest difference.
