In medical texts, the spinal cord is divided into five levels. Depending on what level is damaged, there can be a great deal of different injuries.
- Cervical: This topmost level of the spinal cord controls the back of the head, the neck, shoulders, arms and hands.
- Thoracic: The next level of the spinal cord controls chest muscles and parts of the abdomen.
- Lumbar: The central section of the spinal cord controls the abdomen, lower back and some parts of the upper leg.
- Sacral: The next level of the spinal cord controls the thighs, the lower leg and the feet.
- Coccygeal: The lowest level of the spinal cord controls sensation and pain felt on the skin of the lower back.
Depending on where the damage is located along the spinal cord, there can be a wide range of body motion restrictions. The more severe injuries might require constant care and attention for the rest of the individual's life. By consulting our experts, we can get a better understanding of the injury and any future medical care needs. With this information, we can negotiate with the liable party's insurance carrier to reach a beneficial settlement for our clients.
