Spinal cord disorders encompass a range of conditions that affect the spinal cord, leading to impaired communication between the brain and body. These disorders may arise from trauma, infections, tumors, degenerative diseases, or congenital defects. Common conditions include spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. Symptoms vary depending on the severity and location of the damage but often include pain, numbness, weakness, and loss of motor or sensory function. Treatment options range from medication and physical therapy to surgical interventions. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to managing and improving quality of life.
