Hi,

The number of spinal cord injuries per year has remained fairly stable over the last two decades, with nearly 12,000 occurring each year mostly from sports injuries, car accidents and other forms of traumatic injury. Currently in the United States there are approximately 200,000 people are living with spinal cord injuries or spinal dysfunction. With today’s advanced medical treatments, more spinal cord injury patients survive the trauma compared to just a few decades ago. This positive shift in mortality rate underlines the great importance of initial acute treatment and follow up rehabilitation.
Treatment for spinal cord injuries can be divided into to two stages: acute and rehabilitation. The acute phase takes place immediate following the injury and is conducted at a hospital with an appropriate trauma center. During this time, the patient is immobilized to ensure that the damage to the spinal cord is minimized and any other injuries can be treated. This phase may also include surgery to reinforce the damaged area of the spine to prevent further injury. The acute phase will conclude when the patient is stabilized and ready to begin the next step towards recovery—rehabilitation therapy.
