Each year, 11,000 Americans suffer spinal cord injuries. The costs associate with this type of injury can be staggering. According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, a 25-year-old person who suffers an injury to the spinal cord can expect to incur upwards of $2.9 million in lifetime treatment costs.
