INTEGRIS Health Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation
The spinal cord is responsible for carrying nerve signals such as muscle commands, feelings, and senses back and forth from your brain to every part of your body and is protected by your spine. When it’s injured due to traumatic injury, infection or tumors, it can be bruised or torn. This is called a spinal cord injury (SCI), and the results range widely depending on the location and severity of the injury. It can range from minor decreased sensation to paralysis.
Whether you’ve had a spinal cord injury or it’s happened to someone you love, you may have lots of questions and concerns. Jim Thorpe is here to help and brings you the region’s most comprehensive collection of therapies, experts and technologies, making life after a spinal cord injury more fulfilling, active, and independent than was ever possible before.
