The brain is the center of the body's nervous system.  Through the spinal cord, the brain sends signals to body.  Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, limb trauma and nerve injuries can result in:

• concussion;
• post-concussion syndrome;
  
• brain damage;
• amputation;
  
• disc herniations, bulges and tears;
• cervicalgia (whiplash);
  
• paraplegia;
• tetraplegia;
• complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS); and
• neuropathy.

As many as 2,000,000 head injuries occur every year in the United States.  Of those, nearly 300,000 require hospitalization and approximately 99,000 result in a lasting disability.  Spinal cord injuries occur far less frequently, although they can be as bad as or more devastating than a brain injury.  On average, there are 11,000 spinal cord injuries each year.  Most involve a hospitalization (lasting an average of 44 days).
