Though Paraplegic injuries may vary from person to person, but most patients
would require to undergo extensive medical treatment. Majority of paraplegia patients are bound to
their wheelchairs or are dependent on other motor-function aids for life support. Victims of
Paraplegic injuries also suffer from other medical problems like body sores, degradation of the
muscles, and reduction in immunity causing higher vulnerability to catch colds and pneumonia.

In some cases the paralysis is a temporary condition which can be cured, if
the swelling or damage to the spine is reversed and it comes back to normal. If the spine does not
start healing within a few weeks of the injury, the prognosis is not good and chances are that the
patient will be paralyzed permanently.
