Spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs when the spinal cord and its nerves are damaged as a result of a trauma or accident. A spinal cord injury can leave an individual with partial or full loss of feeling and movement. Important bodily functions such as temperature control, bladder, bowel, sexual function and blood pressure can be affected. Every injury is different depending on where the damage has occurred.
