About Spinal Cord Injury
<\/div><\/div>
\nA Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is when a traumatic event, disease, or virus damages the cells within the spinal cord and affects the nerves that relay signals back and forth from the brain and the body resulting in the loss of normal function. Every year 10,000 - 20,000 people suffer spinal cord injuries in the United States. There are millions of people living in America today that suffer from paralysis.
