If the spinal column becomes damaged, it can lead to a range of serious consequences, including loss of sensation, mobility, and reflexes below the injury site. This damage can result in conditions such as paralysis, which may be partial (paresis) or complete (paraplegia or quadriplegia), depending on the severity and location of the injury. Additionally, damage to the spinal column can disrupt critical bodily functions, including respiratory and autonomic functions, potentially leading to life-threatening complications. Prompt medical intervention is essential to minimize long-term effects and improve outcomes.
