Not all spinal cord injuries are permanent. We are fortunate that there are some spinal cord injuries that can be repaired, and some patients are eventually able to regain some functionality through extensive occupational and physical therapy. Medical science is constantly evolving, and new treatments are developed each year to assist spinal cord injury patients in obtaining a higher level of functionality. That said, many spinal injuries are permanent. Your medical doctor can help you determine the longevity of your condition.
