Unfortunately, injury to the spinal cord is usually life changing and as a result the possibility of paralysis exists. When the nerve fibers in the spinal cord are damaged, the ability to function is affected. The injured person may be affected with paralysis, unable to walk, move, or control body processes. The degree of disability has to do with where the injury was located and the seriousness of the shock to the spinal column.

If immediate attention and high quality treatment are provided, it may help to improve the injured person's condition during a spinal cord injury in a few situations. However, most victims of an accident that results in a spinal cord injury have some sort of disability as the end result. An injury to the spinal cord does not necessarily need to be direct for it to be life changing. It could be a severe disc injury that causes spinal cord impingement thus resulting in possible paralysis.
