Spinal Cord Injury Treatment in Miami
How your team of experts at Physical Therapy Now can help you recover from a spinal cord injury.
You have been through a lot lately. The stress in dealing with a spinal cord injury – whether it be your own injury or that of someone you love – can be nearly as difficult to manage as the injury itself. There is a lot of healing that needs to happen on many levels, and here at Physical Therapy Now, we’re proud to be your partner as the path to recovery unfolds.
A Variety of Injuries
There is no doubt you’ve heard about the worst of the worst in spinal cord injuries. Some of the accidents that happen involve high profile celebrities such as that of Christopher Reeves. He injured his spinal cord in a horse-riding accident in the mid-90’s and sadly, never made a full recovery. While accidents like these are uncommon, they do happen, and physical therapy is crucial to the recovery process so the patient can heal to their fullest potential.
And then there are those other spinal cord injuries that are not as widely publicized, but also have a large impact on both the injured and their loved ones. While much less severe than the debilitating injury suffered by Reeves, there can still be a long road to recovery that too, involves physical therapy treatment.
Spinal Cord Injuries
The spinal cord is made up of a bundle of nerves that – when injured – can no longer do their job effectively. Their job is crucial to day-to-day life because those nerves carry messages from the brain to the rest of the body. An injury, no matter how severe, can lead to several symptoms, including:
- Partial or Full Paralysis
- Muscles Spasms
- Breathing Problems
- Digestive Problems
- Compromised or Complete Loss of Bladder and Bowel Function
- Tingling in the Arms/Legs
- Numbness
- Sensory Loss
