Treatment for cervical cord injury
This requires emergency medical care. Treatment in the early stage focuses on immobilizing the spine to prevent further damage - this can be done with a brace and surgery. Breathing difficulties and low blood pressure must also be addressed. In the later stage, treatment aims to recover as much muscle power as possible. This can be done with physical therapy at a rehabilitation facility.
