Spinal Cord Injury Management and Rehabilitation

(Comprehensive, multidisciplinary recovery for paralysis, spinal trauma, and neurorehabilitation)

A spinal cord injury is one of the most life-changing events a person can face — physically, emotionally, and socially. But with early intervention and structured rehabilitation, remarkable recovery is possible. At Bangalore Back, we provide a complete continuum of care — from emergency stabilization to long-term rehabilitation — for patients with partial or complete paralysis.

In my practice, I’ve seen patients who were told they would never walk again take their first steps after months of guided therapy. Our goal is not just to treat the injury but to restore dignity, independence, and quality of life.

Understanding Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

The spinal cord acts as the body’s communication highway. When injured, it can lead to partial or complete loss of movement and sensation below the level of injury. Spinal cord injuries can result from road accidents, falls, sports injuries, infections like tuberculosis, or tumors.

At Bangalore Back, SCI management begins from day one — whether the patient is in ICU or post-surgery. We follow evidence-based international protocols emphasizing early mobilization, prevention of complications, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation.

Causes and Common Conditions We Treat

We manage all forms of spinal cord injuries, including:

  • Cervical spine injuries (Tetraplegia / Quadriplegia)
  • Thoracic and lumbar spine injuries (Paraplegia)
  • Incomplete cord injuries (ASIA B/C/D)
  • Central and anterior cord syndromes
  • Post-tuberculosis or tumor-related paraplegia
  • Post-surgical neurological deficits
  • Electrical and traumatic spinal injuries
  • Paediatric spinal cord injuries

Our Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Approach

Rehabilitation starts the very day the patient becomes medically stable. We believe recovery is not just physical — it’s emotional, psychological, and social.

Our multidisciplinary team includes:

  • Spine surgeons and rehabilitation physicians
  • Neuro-physiotherapists and occupational therapists
  • Psychologists and counselors
  • Rehab nurses trained in SCI care
  • Assistive technology and prosthetics experts
  • Nutritionists and social workers

Together, we design a personalized program focusing on strengthening, mobility, bladder/bowel training, pressure sore prevention, and reintegration into daily life.

Recovery And Rehabilitation

Recovery after spinal cord injury depends on the type and severity (ASIA scale). We measure success not only by walking but by achieving independence in mobility, self-care, and mental well-being.

 

Typical Rehabilitation Path:

  • Weeks 1–2: ICU or acute stabilization with early therapy
  • Weeks 3–4: Structured physiotherapy and positioning
  • Months 1–3: Standing, transfers, and bladder/bowel retraining
  • Months 3–6: Wheelchair mobility and community reintegration
  • Beyond 6 months: Home-based rehab and vocational reintegration
