Individuals who have experienced spinal cord injuries are at risk for secondary health conditions, which are medical issues that develop as a direct or indirect result of spinal cord damage. Common examples of secondary health conditions include pain, spasticity, urinary tract infections, bowel dysfunction, respiratory challenges, autonomic dysreflexia, osteoporosis, and pressure ulcers.
These conditions can affect independence, daily functioning, and overall quality of life. Research shows that secondary health conditions are a leading cause of rehospitalizations and contribute to higher rates of morbidity and mortality among people living with spinal cord injuries.
Early intervention, regular monitoring, and ongoing medical care, including rehabilitation, are key to managing these risks. Individuals with spinal cord injuries should work closely with their healthcare providers to address both immediate and long-term health needs.
Proactive management can help improve health outcomes, participation in daily activities, and overall well-being.

After an injury, spinal cord shock is a temporary phase where reflexes and movement stop. It can last from hours to weeks and makes it difficult to assess the full extent of an injury. Paralysis is the lasting loss of movement and sensation below the injury, which can be partial or complete.
Key differences include duration, reflex activity, muscle tone, and impact. Spinal shock is short-term, with a complete loss of reflexes and flaccid (limp) muscles. As it resolves, reflexes may return, revealing the true extent of paralysis. Paralysis can be flaccid or spastic (stiff), with varying reflex activity, and is often permanent.
In short, spinal shock is a temporary physiological response to spinal cord injury, while paralysis is a longer-term or permanent outcome of that injury.

Vaccines are a safe and effective way to protect against deadly diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, before a vaccine is approved and recommended for use, it goes through extensive testing labs and clinical trials with thousands of volunteers. After approval, numerous health agencies continuously monitor vaccine safety. But fears still linger, often based on myths, outdated studies, or misinformation. Here are three common myths about vaccines and the scientific truths behind them:

Myth #1: Vaccines cause autism.
Truth: This claim came from a study that was later proven to be fraudulent and retracted. Large-scale research continues to show no link between vaccines and autism.

Myth #2: Too many vaccinations weaken the immune system.
Truth: The current vaccine schedule is carefully tested and safe. Vaccines actually strengthen the immune system.

Myth #3: Vaccines cause new virus variants.
Truth: Variants come from viruses mutating as they spread, not from vaccines. Vaccines help reduce the transmission, slowing the development of new variants.

If you have questions about receiving a vaccination, speak to your healthcare provider.

When temperatures rise, breathing can become more difficult – especially for people with underlying health conditions. While lung or heart disease may come to mind first, several lesser-known factors also can contribute to breathing difficulties in hotter weather, including anemia, anxiety, allergies, asthma, infections, dehydration, and fatigue. Chronic conditions like COPD, irregular heart rhythms, and autoimmune diseases also may flare up in the heat.

If you or someone you know experiences ongoing or sudden shortness of breath in hotter weather, be sure to talk to a healthcare provider.
