Patient's question:
On one day last year, while walking home from school, another car accident occurred, resulting in an injury to my spinal cord at the 234th vertebra. Although I underwent a series of treatments, I still developed high-level paraplegia. I would like to ask what treatment methods can help with recovery from incomplete spinal cord injury with high-level paraplegia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition you mentioned, high-level paraplegia caused by incomplete spinal cord injury, is such that the extent of complete recovery is directly related to the severity of the injury at the time. For current treatment, the main goals should be to nourish the nerves and control spinal cord edema. Then, it is necessary to implement a gradual rehabilitation training program. In the early stages, it should be based on weak muscle training. It can also be combined with acupuncture and physiotherapy as supplementary treatment methods.
