Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) can occur from trauma following an accident, or a result of a tumour or infarct in the spinal cord. SCI are diagnosed using a specific scale which tells us what amount of movement someone should have. SCI can be complete (meaning paralysis below the level of injury) or incomplete (meaning partial paralysis and some ability to move the muscles below the level of injury). At Tendler Physio, we can help maximise your recovery.
