Individuals with spinal cord injuries are at risk of developing secondary health conditions that are a direct or indirect result of damage to the spinal cord. Common secondary health conditions include pain, spasticity, urinary tract infections, bowel problems, respiratory difficulties, autonomic dysreflexia, osteoporosis, and pressure ulcers. Affecting autonomy, health, and well-being, these conditions can negatively impact quality of life and participation in activities of daily living. According to studies, secondary health conditions are a leading cause of rehospitalizations and contribute to higher rates of morbidity and mortality among spinal cord injury populations. Individuals are encouraged to speak to their healthcare providers about continued medical care that may be needed following initial treatment of a spinal cord injury. #spinalcordinjuries #secondaryhealthconditions
