TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital The Woodlands

The complexity of spinal cord injuries requires the highly specialized skills of an experienced healthcare team. At TIRR Memorial Hermann, we were one of the first facilities in the United States to establish a Spinal Cord Injury Center, and we are nationally recognized for our expertise in the management of all levels of spinal cord injury. We work with persons requiring a ventilator for breathing as well as those patients who are able to wean from the ventilator.

Our team is dedicated to providing expert care for patients with a spinal cord injury. We consider our mission to be accomplished when those with spinal cord injuries are able to achieve a quality of life with increased personal independence, productive functioning and a maximum state of health. As a patient, you will be evaluated by each member of our care team. This team will help develop and coordinate your treatment plan. Based on this treatment plan, you will receive combined therapy equaling three or more hours per day, for five out of seven days a week. In addition, we provide therapy services on the weekend.
