Any kind of injury calls for immediate medical attention and complete care. Ignoring an injury only worsens the situation over time and becomes bigger, more painful and a hindrance to normal life.
The Spinal Cord is the critical connection between the brain and the vertebral canal via nerve tissues. An injury to the spinal cord, either traumatic or non-traumatic, can lead to severe damages to body functions and requires effective spinal cord injury treatment. Any sort of damage to any spinal nerve leads to a spinal cord injury. The more severe the damage, more greatly will the body functions be affected. Depending on the severity of the spinal cord injury a person may show certain symptoms, including:
- Difficulty in walking and body movement
- Difficulty in differentiating sensations
- Poor control over bowel or bladder movements
- Numbness/Tingling feeling
- Breathing problems
A spinal cord injury encompasses any damage to the vertebrae, ligaments or disks of the spinal column. Traumatic spinal cord injury may occur in case of motor vehicle accidents, sports related, violence or falls. Whereas, non-traumatic injury may occur as a result of arthritis, cancer, infections, inflammation or disk deterioration.
Spinal Cord Injury Treatment
Whether traumatic or non-traumatic, severe or a low level injury, immediate medical help must be sought to understand the most effective spinal cord injury treatment. There are several conventional spinal cord injury treatment options like surgery, rehabilitation sessions, pain management, physical therapies, counselling, use of assisted devices etc. Injury to the spinal nerve tissues is often permanent as the regenerative process of the spinal cord and the brain are not capable enough to repair and renew immediately.
Stem cell therapy is the latest breakthrough and touted to be the most effective spinal cord injury treatment, at present. If an injured person is treated within 6 months it lowers the risk of inflammation and thus can be managed better. Stem cell therapy supports and facilitates neuro-protection and neuro-regeneration that helps in the growth of new and healthy neurons. It fastens the repair and renewal process, thus leading to faster treatment.
NeuroGen Brain and Spine Institute has helped many people get back to normal life and healthy bodily functions through effective spinal cord injury treatments. We offer complete care and the best of treatment options, after carefully understanding individual needs. Stem cell therapy as a spinal cord injury treatment has proven to be safe, effective and currently the best treatment option.
