Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) occurs when the spinal cord is damaged due to trauma, accidents, or medical conditions, leading to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the injury site. SCI can affect the arms, legs, or trunk depending on the location and severity. Early rehabilitation and structured care are critical to maximize recovery, prevent complications, and help patients regain independence.

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injury

Common signs include:

• Loss of movement or weakness in arms, legs, or both

• Numbness or tingling below the injury site

• Loss of bladder or bowel control

• Difficulty with balance and coordination

• Severe back or neck pain at the injury site

• Muscle spasms or exaggerated reflexes

Types of Spinal Cord Injury

SCI can vary in severity and presentation:

• Complete Injury: Total loss of sensation and movement below the injury site

• Incomplete Injury: Partial loss of function; some sensation or movement remains

• Tetraplegia/Quadriplegia: Paralysis affecting all four limbs (usually cervical injury)

• Paraplegia: Paralysis of lower limbs (usually thoracic or lumbar injury)

Treatment and Process

Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of spinal function, muscle strength, and mobility. At Intimate Clinic, we offer specialized non-surgical neurorehabilitation programs including physiotherapy, strengthening exercises, functional training, balance and coordination therapy, and electrotherapy. These interventions help improve muscle control, prevent complications like stiffness or pressure sores, and enhance independence in daily activities. Each program is tailored to the level and type of spinal injury.

Long-Term Effects of Delaying Treatment

Delaying rehabilitation can lead to muscle wasting, joint stiffness, chronic pain, and permanent loss of function. Secondary complications like pressure ulcers, urinary infections, and poor posture may also develop. Early intervention improves the chances of regaining movement, reducing complications, and achieving a better quality of life.
