Frequently Asked Questions
A spinal cord injury occurs when the spinal cord or surrounding nerves are damaged, often due to trauma such as a fall, accident or impact. It can also be caused by certain medical conditions, infections or tumours. Depending on the level of the injury, individuals may experience reduced mobility, loss of sensation or other long-term changes to bodily functions.
There is currently no cure for spinal cord injury. However, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, symptom management and specialist home care can significantly improve function, comfort and quality of life. Many people regain strength, independence and confidence over time with the right support.
Symptoms depend on the location and severity of the injury, but can include pain, numbness, reduced sensation, paralysis, muscle weakness, impaired balance and difficulties with bladder or bowel control. Some individuals may also experience nerve-related symptoms such as tingling or burning sensations.
