Quadriplegic injuries can be life-changing, affecting both upper and lower body function. At Verita Neuro we understand that each Spinal Cord injury is different, affecting patients in different ways. Unfortunately there isn’t a cure for Spinal Cord injury, however we are leading the way in looking for solutions to achieving recovery for Quadripelgic patients.
Our team uses Epidural Stimulation -an advanced form of neuromodulation, regenerative therapies, and rehabilitation and while a full recovery is never guaranteed our patients have seen vast improvements in mobility and quality of life.
We provide personalized treatment plans that focus on reconnecting neural pathways, restoring function, and improving day to day life for the people that choose Verita Neuro.
What is Quadriplegia?
Quadriplegia, also known as tetraplegia, is the loss of movement and sensation in all four limbs and the torso – almost always caused by a spinal cord injury at the cervical level.
The extent of impairment depends on whether the injury is complete or incomplete and the location of the injury. As well as the loss of movement and sensation, the vast number of quadriplegia patients also struggle with bladder and bowel control, neuropathic pain, muscle spasms, and the inability to control blood pressure and body temperature. Many patients with injuries involving upper cervical levels also require breathing support, at least during the early phase of the injury.
How We Approach Quadriplegia at Verita Neuro
At Verita Neuro, we never promise a full recovery, but we do believe in improvement. To relieve the symptoms and improve movement in people with Quadriplegia we understand it takes a highly specialized and individualized approach. We offer a combination of neuromodulation, regenerative therapy, and intensive rehabilitation to encourage improvements in autonomy, muscle function, and movement.
Our team of global experts is composed of world-renowned neurosurgeons, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists who work together to find the best approach for your individual injury.
Treatments for Quadriplegia at Verita Neuro
Epidural Stimulation
Epidural Stimulation is our most advanced solution for assisting patients with quadriplegia. Using two small implanted devices, our medical experts are able to create a new connection between the brain and spinal cord – in turn reconnecting lost connections.
Once implantation is complete, our experts perform a mapping process that allows the stimulators to be programmed to maximize muscle activation, tailored to each patient and their individual injury.
Stem Cell Treatment
Stem Cell Treatment potentially provides another pathway for Quadriplegic patients to regain movement in their upper and/or lower limbs. Fresh, high-potency Stem Cells can be used to support Neural repair, reduce inflammation, and reintroduce lost connections in damaged areas of the spinal cord.
Our Stem Cell treatments are tailored to each individual patient and we will never only ever allow you to access the best treatment for your personal case, goals, and current medical condition.
LamiSpine Treatment
In some very limited cases we are able to offer LamiSpine Treatment combined with either Epidural Stimulation or Stem Cell Treatment, however this is very rare and if you are a candidate for LamiSpine Treatment for Quadriplegia, our expert medical team will discuss your unique options with you personally.
Our Stem Cell treatments are tailored to each individual patient and we will never only ever allow you to access the best treatment for your personal case, goals, and current medical condition.
Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care
To recover from any Spinal Cord Injury, rehabilitation is key. All of our treatments include intensive, on-site rehabilitation programs to ensure the treatment has the best chance at success. Progress can be gradual, but our team will remain involved for life, developing rehabilitation practices that develop and evolve alongside your improvement.
