Nerve Damage

What is a Nerve
A nerve contains bundles of nerve fibers, either axons or dendrites, surrounded by connective tissue. Nerves are the tissue that send electrical impulses from the brain that tell the body to contract muscles, that we are experiencing pain and that control numerous involuntary motions.

Spinal Cord Nerves
Thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves emerge laterally from the spinal cord. Each pair of nerves corresponds to a segment of the cord and they are named accordingly. This means there are 8 cervical nerves, 12 thoracic nerves, 5 lumbar nerves, 5 sacral nerves, and 1 coccygeal nerve.

Nerve Injury
Nerve damage occurs when a nerve in the body whether in the spinal column, the cranium or other part of the body becomes:

Stretched
Torn
Compressed
Ripped
Exposed to Pressure- Sources of Pressure are most often times

Bone fragments
Cartilage
Fluids
Physical Objects

All of the above mentioned forms of nerve damage can occur from blunt physical force a form of trauma that a person might experience in a car accident. However, nerve damage can also occur during surgical procedures. In surgery, if a doctor does not take the proper precautions, nerves can be severed and this can cause:

Paralysis
Palsy
Paraplegia
Lost sensation
