New Therapies Help Heal Spinal Cord Injuries

New therapeutic techniques are making it easier for car crash victims with spinal cord injuries to recover, according to a local news report. In the past, a spinal cord injury made the prognosis for walking again slim.

Doctors at the Center for Spinal Cord Injury in Baltimore, one of the Chesapeake Bay area's most cutting-edge medical facilities, are working with patients who have been severely injured in truck and car crashes.

One such patient, Matt Courson, was in a truck crash just last year. He shattered his spinal cord, and physicians thought he would never walk again. However, thanks to medical treatment in Baltimore, he has regained sensation and movement in his legs.

The innovative therapy includes water therapy and electrical therapy for the patient's legs. With the electrical therapy, the aim is to make the legs contract and relax while the patient rides a bicycle.

These new techniques provide hope for those currently suffering with spinal cord injury and those who will sustain such injury in future accidents.
