The ingenious new surgery helping SCI patients regain control

Epidural Stimulation involves the surgical implantation of electrodes directly onto the spinal cord. When the electrodes are activated by a hand-held remote control, nerve signals are “stimulated” and able to connect from the patient’s brain to areas of the body beyond the part of their spine that was injured.

When combined with our rigorous physical therapy regimens and supplemental treatments, the Epidural Stimulation surgery is helping a growing number of patients regain voluntary control of their limbs and involuntary control of their bladders and bowels previously believed to be lost forever.
