Spinal Cord Injury Medicine

Spinal Cord Injury Medicine is a specialized field within Physical Medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and rehabilitating individuals with injuries to the spinal cord. These injuries can affect movement, sensation, and overall function. Professionals in this field work to improve patients' quality of life through medical management, physical therapy, and supportive care. They aim to help patients regain as much independence as possible and adapt to life after an injury. This involves not only physical recovery but also addressing emotional and psychological challenges that may arise.
