The devastation that a spinal cord injury can cause is incredible.  Not only is the quality of life changed for good, the medical bills that result are enough to crush anyone.  Continuous treatment, rehabilitation services and equipment are quite costly and can generate a substantial amount of stress on you and your family.

Spinal cord injuries are first divided into either complete or incomplete injuries.  In a complete injury, the spinal cord loses all communication with other parts of the body.  This can result in complete paralysis and require a wheelchair, as well as other highly specialized equipment.  In extreme cases, a complete spinal injury can ever render a patient bedridden, or require the usage of a machine to handle the basics of life such as breathing.  An incomplete spinal cord injury simply lessens the communication between the spinal cord and the parts of the body.

An incomplete spinal cord injury can require the usage of a cane, wheelchair, specialized bed, and even rehabilitative programs for treatment.  Many who suffer from spinal cord injuries, both complete and incomplete never fully recover and require special treatment for the duration of their life.  This can be quite pricy as well as stressful and frequently a home health professional is needed.
