Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury can be from a trauma, an infection or a tumor. The spinal cord controls movement of the arms and legs and the muscles that help with breathing and the use for activity of daily living (ADL). The effects depend on what part of the spinal cord is injured or affected. Our team carries out proper assessment and we recommend ways to treat your condition based on the assessment in order to improve your well-being. We also focus on improving your strength, flexibility and ability to move your arms and legs; helping them perform daily activities (such as getting dressed and eating); managing the bowel and bladder; and decreasing stiff muscles (spasticity).
