A spinal cord compression occurs when pressure builds on the spinal cord due to trauma, herniated discs, or other conditions. This pressure can lead to nerve damage, pain, and impaired movement. Early diagnosis and treatment are vital for recovery and long-term health.
Compression may develop gradually or result from a sudden accident, affecting different levels of mobility and sensation.
Victims often experience numbness, tingling, pain, or loss of bladder control depending on the severity of nerve involvement.
Without prompt care, patients may suffer permanent paralysis, chronic pain, or reduced quality of life.
Spinal cord compression can vary based on cause and severity. Medical experts classify these injuries by the location and extent of nerve damage. Legal representation ensures proper documentation and compensation.
