Fundraising for SCI treatment is not always easy, whether you are raising funds yourself or with external support. Epidural stimulation treatment is undeniably expensive, as a result of the equipment itself.
Thoracic spinal cord injury, whilst less severe than cervical level injuries, have an intense impact on the lives of sufferers. 35% of spinal cord injuries are at the thoracic level, with Joao being one such patient.
Clinical exercise physiologist, college instructor, and athlete Barry Wilcox is certainly a man of many talents. He received epidural stimulation treatment with Verita Neuro in 2021, 27 years after his injury. He was kind enough to co-host a Q&A with our Medical Director Dr. Nasir, talking about his experience.
C5 spinal cord injury is the most common occurrence of SCI, with 50% affecting the cervical level generally. Therefore, we treat many patients with injury at the cervical level, who are experiencing quadriplegia. Kamron is one such patient. He is also one of the few patients who have received a double spinal cord stimulator implant.
