Patient's question:
Six months ago, I broke my neck in a car accident and stayed in the hospital for more than two months. The spinal cord was also injured as a result. Now, I can stand up completely, but my right hand and left foot are not very flexible. The right side is relatively normal. I want to know what treatments are available for this condition?Doctor's answer:
After a cervical spine fracture, if spinal cord injury occurs multiple times, leading to poor flexibility in the right hand and left foot, this situation actually needs to be considered as involving nerve damage, as the spinal cord injury affects it. Multiple occurrences of such conditions are actually quite normal, and it is generally necessary to implement rehabilitation treatment. Acupuncture and moxibustion from traditional Chinese medicine can be used to help regulate the condition. Appropriate activities should also be coordinated, in addition to occupational therapy. In the early stages, some nerve-nourishing medications can be used.
