Who Benefitted from Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation?

Spinal injury rehab can help anyone with a spinal cord injury. These injuries happen for many reasons. Traumatic events like car crashes, falls or sports-related accidents cause some spinal cord injuries. Health problems like blood loss, infections, narrowing of the spinal cord or tumors cause others.

When you start spinal cord injury rehab, we aim to help you:

  • Learn new ways to care for your body

  • Prevent future complications like pressure sores

  • Spark new nerve pathways that can restore some or all of your muscle movement
