The physiotherapists at SP Therapy Services understand that a spinal cord injury is a life-changing event and affects both the patient and their families. We provide an exceptional level of physiotherapy for patients who have suffered a spinal cord injury. Our aim is to help those affected regain their mobility and independence.
A spinal cord injury is usually a result of trauma to the spine often from a road traffic accident or a fall. This trauma causes a complete or incomplete tear of the spinal cord leading to loss of sensation and muscle power below the level of the injury. Spinal cord damage can also be due to other causes such as tumours and spina bifida.
The aims of neurological physiotherapy treatment will differ in relation to the level of your spinal cord injury, and whether or not your injury is complete or incomplete.
