The complications of spinal cord injury (SCI) extend far beyond the more obvious loss of physical functions – motor, sensory and autonomic. There are many physical, psychological and socioeconomic complications. Chronic complications are a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality and result in frequent hospitalizations.
Spinal cord injury stem cell treatment is an approach which uses stem cells to help the damaged tissue in the spinal cord recovery.
Epidural stimulator mapping is a technique, currently being pioneered commercially by Verita Neuro. The process enables epidural stimulation, a therapy traditionally used for chronic pain management, to become a revolutionary treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI).
Improving core strength is a big focus in treating spinal cord injuries, as it contributes to the regaining of many functions. In this second progress interview, Ryan Straschnitzki, who received epidural stimulation treatment for spinal cord injury, covers the benefits he personally has seen to his core, as well as other insights.
