Paralysis Conditions and Causes
Nerve damage to the body causes certain muscles or even the entire body to either decrease in the ability to function or cease to function altogether. As previously mentioned, spinal cord injuries may result in paralysis. If a large enough area of the spinal cord is damaged, the whole body may become completely paralyzed.
There are a number of injuries that may result in an individual becoming paralyzed:
- Slips and falls
- Chemical Exposure
- Physical stress
