Understanding the Traumatic Affects of Your Injury

A brain injury can result from any number of causes, but the most common are:

• Car accidents (including faulty air bags),
• Falls on poorly maintained property,
• Being struck in the head by a falling object in a store or in the workplace, or
• From lack of oxygen due to a medical error, surgical error, or prescription drug error

However the injury occurred, the effects can be life-long, ranging from headaches to loss of memory and thinking ability, to significant personality changes. With therapy some of these effects can be minimized; in other cases, long-term care may be required.

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord damage and back injuries are commonly caused by car, truck, or motorcycle accidents and from falls down stairs, on uneven surfaces, or on wet floors. While the most traumatic spinal cord injuries cause paralysis and require extensive adaptations in every area of life, even relatively minor back injuries can cause lasting damage. Back pain, degenerative disk problems, loss of range of motion and loss of strength are just a few of the issues people may deal with long after they suffer a back or spinal cord injury.
