Spinal Cord Injury Treatment
Understanding Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury is a serious condition that occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord, compromising its ability to transmit signals between the brain and the rest of the body. These injuries often result in partial or complete loss of motor function and sensation below the level of the injury.

Proper medication management is crucial in spinal cord injury treatment. Our experienced healthcare providers work closely with patients to develop customized medication plans that address pain management, muscle spasms, bladder and bowel control, and other related issues.
