Is there a chart somewhere that shows the correlation between different areas of the spine and parts of your body. For example, if you have a lesion in a particular area of the spine, which body parts are likely to be affected?

I was told it's everything from that point downward
My lesion was C4-C5 and it affects my chest to my toesCarrie

I was also told that it is from the point of the lesion down. Mine begin at c2 and I also have one at c4,c5 and lower along with several in my brain so my whole body is affected.Comment

The SPINE and the SPINAL CORD are two different things. Lesions in the SPINAL CORD are difficult to see on an MRI, but the other posters are correct. Symptoms from SPINAL CORD damage usually occur below the area of damage.“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” Ernest Hemingway
