The spinal cord, a vital part of the human body, is a bundle of nerves positioned in the middle of your back and transmits signals from the brain to other parts of the body. Any injury to the spinal cord can lead to various critical situations due to a disruption in the communication lines of the body.
Causes and effects of spinal cord injury
When the spinal cord of a person is injured, he/she is unable to perform his/her movements properly. Sometimes a severe injury may lead to a chronic paralytic condition. In a paralytic condition, the patient’s pelvis, legs, hands, and arms are mainly affected. These injuries mainly happen due to any kind of accident or serious fall.
Unsupervised sports activity can also lead to spinal cord injury. Apart from traumatic causes, various inflammations, infections, cancer, and arthritis also lead to spinal cord injuries. It is highly recommended to provide clinical treatment to the patients as early as possible in order to reduce the effect of growing symptoms.
Stem cell therapy for treating SCI
If the patients are provided proper treatment within six months of any symptoms, the risk of inflammation will be lower. NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute is one of the leading medical institutes in India, which provides efficient stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury. Earlier, there was a preconception that SCI patients will be permanently wheelchair bound. However, now with stem cell treatment, helping patients to have a better quality of life by getting as much independent as they can.
The team of expert doctors at NGBSI has treated more than 250 patients, till now, with SCI using this innovative method. It is observed that patients with SCI get various complications in their daily functioning. However, after Stem cell treatment, they show immense improvement in their trunk control, sitting balance, standing balance, sensation, spasticity, bladder movements and postural hypotension.
This therapy promotes neuro-protection and angiogenesis process in order to repair the damaged tissues. As the stem cells release various neuro-trophic factors, it helps in regenerating the cell tissues in order to maintain proper supply of blood and oxygen in the body. The stem cells also boost the alacrity of the nerves and are also helpful in the regeneration of myelin sheath. As a result, a new structural design of the cells is formed at the damaged areas.
Conclusion
NGBSI is well known for providing stem cell therapy for spinal cord injury. After the successful completion of stem cell treatment, NGBSI provides different neurorehabilitation programs like yoga therapy, Physiotherapy, aquatic therapy motivational workshops and many more activities in order to improve the overall living conditions of the patients.
