Every year approximately 17,700 Americans acquire a spinal cord injury (SCI), according to the United Spinal Association. SCI refers to any damage to the spinal cord, whether from trauma, disease or a degenerative disorder. Recovering from an SCI involves significant challenges and often requires specialized inpatient rehabilitation with both hands-on therapy and cutting-edge technology. Each year, our skilled clinicians help thousands of SCI patients restore their strength, skills and independence during their stays in Select Medical’s nationwide network of inpatient rehabilitation hospitals. #SCIAwareness #spinalcordinjuryawarenessmonth
