Surgery

When dealing with a spinal cord injury, one of the main treatments to alleviate some of the symptoms or repair any correctable damage is surgery. There are many different types of surgical procedures that are used when attempting to help those with spinal cord injuries, such as:

• Surgical intervention to decompress elements of the spinal cord
• Removing a herniated or impinging disc (discectomy)
• Repairing a compression fracture
• Laminectomy
• Fusion of vertebra
• Minimally invasive ballon-kyphoplasty

Complications

One major aspect in treating a spinal cord injury is effectively preventing and treating any complications that may arise. Sores, infections, and other issues may result from the paralysis that limits movement in certain parts of the body. In some cases, these complicating factors are overlooked, leaving the spinal cord injury victim vulnerable to other health issues.
