Recovery from SCI

If you or a loved one has suffered a spinal cord injury, prompt treatment, surgery (as required) and intensive rehabilitation can lead to better chances of recovery.

During this difficult time, it may be hard to stay positive, and that’s where turning to spinal cord injury support groups in your community (such as Spinal Cord Injury BC) can really help.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) between 250,000 and 500,000 people around the world suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI) every year, so you are most definitely not alone.

While there is no cure for spinal cord injury at this time, science and technology offers many promising advancements and hope for a brighter future for spinal cord injury survivors. Scientists and researchers are exploring the possibilities of:

• Regrowing injured or severed nerves
• Cell replacement to restore damaged nerves or cells
• Making connections between the affected area and the brain to restore movement and sensation
• Managing the destructive chain reaction (spinal cord injuries immediately set off a sequence of secondary injuries including: inflammation, reduced blood flow and cell death)
• Neurorehabilitation (physical therapy which improves mobility)
• improved technologies to allow SCI suffer’s access to the vocational and recreational activities they took on before the injury
