Specialists in spinal cord injury (SCI) are rehabilitation medical doctors specializing in diagnosing and treating victims of spinal cord injuries.
If you sustain a spinal cord injury, you can experience temporary or permanent changes in your body's functions (such as loss of muscle strength, sensation, pressure sores, infections, or breathing difficulties).
A spinal cord injury is usually caused by a physical trauma, including car accidents, gunshot wounds, falls, or sports-related injuries.
