There are thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves that emerge from the spinal cord. The spinal nerves are named as per the location of the nerve in the vertebral column. Spinal cord injury mainly occurs due to fracture or displacement of several vertebrae that compresses, tears, or stretches the spinal cord.
