Spinal Cord Injury
A spinal cord injury is damage to the spinal cord, the structure that transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Depending on its level and extent, it can alter movement, sensation, and other functions below the affected area.
How it presents: there may be loss of strength or of sensation, mobility difficulties, and impairment of functions controlled by the nerves involved.
Why follow-up is key: rehabilitation seeks to preserve abilities, promote independence, and improve quality of life over time.
Which specialist treats it? The physical medicine and rehabilitation physician coordinates the process, supported by the physical therapist in functional work. If you or a family member face an injury of this type, having a rehabilitation team that guides each stage makes a great difference.
