Spinal Rehabilitation
The rehabilitation process for SCI is extensive. Naturally, it includes a program for physical conditioning (such as muscle strengthening and relearning fundamental skills). However, there is also a psychological and emotional component that helps you deal with the extent of your spinal damage, your loss of independence, and the financial impact.
