A spinal cord injury can completely and permanently change a life. A spinal injury at the neck can impair breathing and result in paralysis of both the arms and legs. An injury to the lower spine can result in paralysis of the lower half of the body.

Often, a person who suffers a spinal cord injury faces extensive medical treatment and a lifetime of rehabilitation. It may end a person’s career and require expensive medical devices and other equipment in order to live.

The High Cost of Spinal Cord Injuries

Beyond initial treatment of a spinal cord injury, it often costs millions of dollars to adapt and live with any type of paralysis. This may include rehabilitation and painkilling medicines, as well as ventilators and other medical equipment, ramps to make a home wheelchair accessible, remodeling bathrooms and bedrooms, modified automobiles and other expenses.
