What Is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A spinal cord injury (SCI) happens when there is damage to the spinal cord or nerves at the end of the spinal canal. Because the spine controls movement, sensation, and many body functions, even a small injury can cause life-changing challenges such as paralysis, loss of bladder and bowel control, breathing issues, or chronic pain.
While emergency surgery may stabilize the injury, rehabilitation is the key to recovery and regaining independence. Without structured rehab, many patients struggle with preventable complications such as infections, pressure sores, and depression.
