Spinal cord injury (SCI) is irreversible, meaning lives are turned upside down in a split second. It is a devastating permanent disability that can cause paralysis, dysfunction of the bladder and bowel, constant pain, loss of sensation below the level of injury, loss of sexual function, and complex mental health issues as people are faced with the distressing realism of relearning how to live every day. While SCI results in physical paralysis, we know that its impact extends far beyond the body.
