Through an interdisciplinary approach, spinal cord injury rehabilitation focuses on physical therapies, skill development, and emotional support to address the comprehensive needs of the patient.
This rehabilitation process is tailored to each individual’s specific injury, goals, and life circumstances, aiming to empower them to lead a productive and fulfilling life post-injury.
Following spinal cord injury treatment in hospital, some individuals may require only outpatient rehabilitation or vocational rehabilitation to support a return to work. For many, the next step is longer-term spinal cord injury rehabilitation in a community-based, home-from-home environment, focusing on functional independence, an area in which Hamberley Neurocare excels.
Every year in England, 2,500 people experience life-changing spinal cord injuries. A spinal cord injury can result from a traumatic injury that dislocates or damages the vertebrae.
Spinal injuries can be classified as either complete or incomplete spinal cord injuries and can lead to damage to nerve fibres and to the peripheral nerves.
Traumatic spinal injuries result from sudden, forceful damage to the spine and can be a complete or incomplete injury. These injuries often occur due to incidents like motor vehicle accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Depending on the location and severity, these injuries can lead to varying degrees of temporary or permanent loss of sensation, movement, or function below the level of injury.
Non-traumatic spinal injuries describe damage that's not related to sudden, physical harm. Some people experience spinal cord injury following a tumour or as a result of transverse myelitis, or infections affecting the spine.
Cauda Equina Syndrome describes a spinal cord injury caused by severe compression of the nerves at the end of the spinal cord (cauda equina).
Symptoms can include lower back pain, loss of bowel and bladder control, and lower body weakness.
Hamberley Neurocare offers specialised residential spinal rehabilitation services in Hampshire and Surrey, with facilities in Camberley and Southampton.
Following the acute care and initial treatment, and often a stay in an intensive spinal injuries unit, people with spinal injuries undergo intensive rehab in a specialist spinal injury facility, such as the National Spinal Injuries Centre in Stoke Mandeville and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore.
It is after this point in the recovery journey that residential inpatient spinal injury rehabilitation at Hamberley Neurocare allows people to reach their goals.
At Hamberley Neurocare's specialist services in Hampshire, patients can access occupational therapy, physiotherapy, including gait training and balance excesses, neuropsychological support and an individual rehabilitation program overseen by a Consultant in Neuro Rehabilitation.
