A one-stop site for care
Navigating the medical system with a spinal cord injury can be difficult. Often patients find a fragmented system that does not always have the experience or right equipment to care for their unique needs.
The Center for Spinal Cord Injury combines a variety of specialists in one convenient location, giving patients convenient and easy access to specialized outpatient spinal cord injury care and assessments by making only one appointment.
The Center for Spinal Cord Injury accepts patients with both traumatic and non-traumatic, complete and incomplete spinal cord injuries, as well as, neurological diagnosis including but not limited to multiple sclerosis, Guillain Barre syndrome, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica and Parkinson’s disease.
