WHAT IS SPINAL CORD INJURY?

A Spinal Cord Injury is possibly one of the most traumatic events that can occur in anyone's life. The spinal cord is the column of nerves that carries signals back and forth between the brain and the rest of the body. Any injury to this area therefore disrupts these signals, causing temporary or permanent disability. This affects almost every aspect of the patient's life, making them partially or fully dependent on others.
Thankfully, with the right treatment, such as Autologous Stem Cell Therapy, many symptoms can be relieved and even reversed. Meditourz works in collaboration with a world-leading specialist who has already helped nearly 750 patients receive the best treatment for Spinal Cord Injuries in India.

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SPINAL CORD INJURY?

The level of disability is based on the location of the injury on the spinal cord. These could include:

  • Quadriplegia – paralysis of arms, hands, legs, trunk and pelvis
  • Paraplegia – paralysis of part of the trunk, pelvis and leg
  • Loss of bowel or bladder control
  • Loss of sexual function
  • Loss of feeling or sensitivity

HOW DOES AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL THERAPY HELP SPINAL CORD INJURY?

Autologous Stem Cell Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury has great potential. Research shows that patients who receive treatment within six months of the injury have a lower risk of inflammation. This treatment is safe and efficient because it uses the patient’s own stem cells, which migrate to the site of injury and help to replace, renew and repair damaged nerves, and also help the formation of new cells and neurons.
At Meditourz, our goal is to help Spinal Cord Injury patients receive timely consultation and treatment from the best of the medical fraternity, so that, regardless of the severity of the illness, they can regain as much as possible of their lost motor and sensory functions, allowing them to live independently.
