Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day
Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day is observed annually on May 14 to raise the profile of people with spinal cord injuries in the U.K. and educate the public on its impact, effect, and treatment. Did you know that spinal cord injuries go as far back as 3000 B.C.? A spinal cord injury (S.C.I.) is damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerves. This injury often leads to permanent loss of strength, sensation, and autonomic function below the injury site. Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day is an initiative by the Spinal Injuries Association, in partnership with Aspire, Back Up, and Spinal Research.
