Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) treatment and rehabilitation focuses on intensively working with patients physically and psychologically, so that in a short period of time they can maximize their neurological recovery and general health. We educate SCI patients about all aspects of their injury and long term care. We want patients to return home as independent and productive as possible, prepared to resume their lives.
How Can Rehabilitation Help?
Persons with spinal cord injury will have permanent disability and with rehabilitation they can develop new skills, or train themselves or their family to optimise their independence and quality of life. It is very important to select a system of care that provides specialized treatment, care, services, team and equipment because of the complexity of these injuries. We provide a comprehensive, specialised, multi-disciplinary rehabilitation service that equips patients with the skills, knowledge and information for them to return to their role in society with the highest feasible level of functioning, independence and opportunity. Only a centre like OPHA will provide such a holistic care.
