Spinal cord injuries (SCI) can be life-altering, affecting not only movement but also many other critical functions of the body. However, with the right rehabilitation, many patients can regain independence and improve their quality of life.

Our clinic utilizes cutting-edge therapies, including robotic therapy, aqua therapy, and personalized physical rehabilitation techniques to promote healing and empower patients to live more active, fulfilling lives.

A spinal cord injury occurs when there is damage to any part of the spinal cord or the nerves at the end of the spinal canal (cauda equina). This damage can lead to changes in strength, sensation, and other bodily functions below the site of the injury. The effects of SCI can vary significantly, from mild weakness to complete paralysis, depending on the severity and location of the injury.

Spinal cord injuries are commonly categorized as:

  • Complete Injury: No function or sensation below the level of the injury.
  • Incomplete Injury: Some motor or sensory function is preserved below the injury.

Causes of Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries can result from:

  • Trauma: Accidents such as car crashes, falls, or sports injuries are the leading causes.
  • Diseases: Conditions such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, or degenerative spinal conditions can also damage the spinal cord.
  • Infections: Certain infections like meningitis or abscesses can affect spinal cord function.
