Suffered a spinal cord injury?
Tens of thousands of Canadians live with spinal cord injuries, and if you’ve recently suffered one yourself you may be overwhelmed by all of the information you’re receiving from doctors and other professionals. At the end of the day you really want to know what your life is going to be like moving forward with a spinal cord injury.
Truthfully, no one can tell you with absolute certainty what your recovery will be like. Spinal cord injuries are some of the most unpredictable when it comes to recovery. However, a common theme is that survivors who work hard, embrace healthy living, protect their mental health, and never give up tend to have better outcomes.
A few things are certain:
- The Location of Your Injury Matters
- Your Physical Capabilities Will Change
- You May Experience Mental Health Issues
- Physical Therapy Really Does Work
- You Are More Vulnerable to Some Health Conditions
- Your Injury Profile Will Change As You Heal And Swelling Reduces
On top of dealing with the day-to-day issues that accompany a spinal cord injury, many people also have to face many different forms of discrimination in terms of employment, housing, education, mobility and more.
