Accidents and Spinal Cord Injuries (Part B)

Treatment of Spinal Cord InjuriesIn the best case scenarios, a spinal cord injury that is caused by swelling of bruised or agitated spinal cord tissue will gradually subside on its own, sometimes returning to a near-normal state. A steroid drug, methylprednisolone, has been found to be effective at reducing the swelling damage if administered within the first 8 hours after the accident. Unfortunately, there is no cure for spinal cord injuries.

The most common treatments focus on stabilizing the affected body systems, such as breathing and cardiovascular complications, and helping the victim adapt to their limitations. Physical therapy and skill-building activities can help repair some of the range-of-motion loss in less severe cases. An experimental drug called Sygen has shown some signs of restoring loss of function and is undergoing additional clinical testing.

Life with a Spinal Cord Injury

Many people who suffer from a spinal cord injury can go on to live long, full lives with the help of modern medicine. 

Unfortunately, the expenses associated with life after spinal cord injuries are costly. Medical treatments, mobility equipment, and lost wages are all expenses your family may face if you or a loved one suffered a spinal cord injury because of an accident.

A Chicago personal injury attorney can help you determine liability in your accident and assist you with filing an Illinois personal injury claim to recover compensation that can pay for your medical costs and related accident expenses.
