Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injuries involve damage to any part of the spinal cord or the nerves within the spinal canal, often resulting in significant changes in the body’s motor, sensory, and autonomic functions. At Revere Health, we provide comprehensive care and rehabilitation services to help individuals with spinal cord injuries regain as much function and independence as possible.

Trauma: Such as car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or violence.
Disease: Conditions like spinal tumors, multiple sclerosis, or infections that affect the spinal cord.
Degenerative Disorders: Conditions that lead to the breakdown of the spinal cord structure over time.
