Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

Spinal cord injury is a serious condition that can affect a person’s mobility, sensory function, and even their life.

A spinal cord injury is an injury to the spinal cord that disrupts communication between the brain and body. It can be caused by a fall or an accident and it can lead to paralysis or loss of function in one or more areas of the body. There are many types of injuries that can cause a spinal cord injury such as whiplash, blunt force trauma, and penetrating injuries.

The most common symptoms include:

  • Loss of sensation and movement in the body
  • Causes pain, swelling, numbness, tingling or weakness in arms or legs
  • May also cause bladder and bowel problems
  • May affect speech and swallowing abilities
  • If a person has a spinal cord injury, they may have difficulty with daily activities such as dressing themselves or using the toilet
