Best Answer

Usually due to a traumatic spinal injury. Spinal injuries can damage the spinal cord (the bit that is usually protected by being encased in the vertebrae of the spine), which means that nerve impulses become unable to flow. This can result in loss of sensation, and paralysis. However muscle wasting diseases can also cause paralysis (but not usually loss of sensation).
