How people become paralyzed?
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).
What is a traumatic injury to the neck and spinal cord can result in?
A spinal cord injury can result in a loss of sensation and/or loss of function below the area of spinal cord injury. The degree to which the body is affected, will depend how high up the spinal cord the injury occurs. If the injury is in the neck, cervical region, then the arms will also be affected, resulting in Quadriplegia.

What is the tumor which is described as a fluid cavity within the spinal cord that can enlarge slowly leading to pain and sensation loss in limbs or weakness?
Syringomyelia
What it does mean if an human is paralyzed?
Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of the body, resulting in an inability to move that part of the body. It can be caused by conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, or neurological disorders, and can be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying cause. Treatment options vary depending on the specific circumstances and may include physical therapy, medication, or surgery.
What is a paralyzed?
Paralyzed means a loss of muscle function for one or more muscles. The sense of touch may also be lost.
Why and how do you shrink when you get older?
The spinal column decreases in overall height due to a softening and flattening of the vertebral bones, as well as a loss of fluid contained in the discs between the bones.
What does ecstasy do to your spine?
no, this is an urban myth. it was started by peoplemisinterpreting the procedure used in finding the effects of Ecstasy They would do a spinal tap to see if the Ecstasy effected certain parts of the body.

What are the risks of Spinal decompression therapy?
All treatments have associated risks, at includes spinal decompression therapy. Increased pain, exacerbation or worsening of your condition is possible, but very small if you are screened well before receiving the treatment. Spinal fusion surgeries are an absolute contraindication as well as severe osteoperosis. Obviously if you have a spinal fracture, this is not appropriate. We routinely treat severely painful spinal conditions with spinal decompression therapy. You can visit our website to learn more about modern spinal decompression therapy and the other complementary treatments available. Visit us at www.hickoryspine.com for more information on one of North Carolina's most advanced spinal decompression clinics, located in Hickory, NC.
What do you called when all limbs paralyzed?
When all limbs are paralyzed, the condition is referred to as "quadriplegia" or "tetraplegia." This condition typically results from a spinal cord injury or a neurological condition that affects motor function. Quadriplegia involves the loss of muscle function in both the arms and legs, often impacting the torso as well. The severity and extent of paralysis can vary depending on the cause and location of the injury or condition.
What tipe of spinal injury is irreversible total loss motor and sensory?
severed spinal cord
What is the impact of spinal shock?
Spinal shock, which is caused by a spinal cord injury, is characterized by a loss of sensation, motor paralysis, and initial loss of reflexes (which eventually recover). at T1 level what should a nurse be looking for
Can you be paralyzed if your break your 12 vertebrae?
Yes, a fracture of the 12th vertebra, known as the lumbar vertebra, can potentially lead to paralysis, particularly if the injury affects the spinal cord or the surrounding nerves. The extent of paralysis depends on the severity of the break and whether there is any damage to the spinal cord. If the spinal cord is injured, it can result in varying degrees of loss of function and sensation in the lower extremities. Immediate medical attention is crucial to assess the injury and determine the appropriate treatment.
