SPINAL CORD INJURY
Spinal Cord Injury Treatment at Divine Physiotherapy
What is a Spinal Cord Injury?
A Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that affects movement, sensation, and body functions. It can result from accidents, falls, or medical conditions, leading to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the injury site. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, helping individuals regain strength, mobility, and independence.
Causes of Spinal Cord Injury
SCI can occur due to various reasons, including:
Trauma – Car accidents, falls, sports injuries
Medical Conditions – Infections, tumors, or degenerative diseases
Spinal Cord Diseases – Multiple sclerosis, polio, or transverse myelitis
Types of Spinal Cord Injury
There are two main types of SCI:
Complete SCI – Total loss of movement and sensation below the injury
Incomplete SCI – Partial loss, with some movement and sensation remaining
Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injury
SCI symptoms vary based on the severity and location of the injury, including:
Loss of movement or paralysis
Loss of sensation (touch, temperature, pain)
Difficulty breathing or controlling bladder/bowel function
Muscle weakness or spasms
Pain or tingling sensations

A spinal cord injury (SCI) damages the nerves in the spinal cord, leading to partial or complete loss of movement, sensation, and bodily functions below the affected area.
Physiotherapy improves mobility, strength, coordination, and independence by using rehabilitation techniques such as muscle re-education, functional training, and balance exercises.
We provide neurophysiotherapy, gait training, electrotherapy, muscle stimulation, mobility exercises, and assistive device training to enhance recovery.
Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the injury. Some patients show improvement within months, while others may require long-term rehabilitation.
Recovery depends on the extent of nerve damage. While complete recovery may not always be possible, physiotherapy can help maximize mobility and improve quality of life.
