What is Spinal Cord Injury?
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a devastating neurological condition that occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord.
This can affect the normal functioning of the body’s nervous system and cause long-term physical disability. The spinal cord carries signals from the brain to the rest of the body, so when it is damaged, these signals may be disrupted or stopped altogether. SCI can have an impact on bodily functions such as sensation, movement, bladder and bowel control, respiration and circulation.
Kinsa Care’s Approach to Spinal Cord Injury:
At Kinsa Care, we provide comprehensive services for individuals living with spinal cord injuries – both long-term and short-term – enabling them to maximise their potential despite their physical limitations.
Our care consists of providing clinical expertise in areas such as wound management, respiratory support, nutrition support, medication management and much more. We also strive to create an environment where our patients always feel comfortable by providing emotional support through individual counselling sessions as well as group activities like movie nights or game nights at our facility. Furthermore, we make sure our services are tailored specifically to each patient’s individual needs and lifestyle preferences by collaborating closely with family members or friends if available.
Finally, we prioritise educating our patients on how they can take charge of their health by understanding their condition better and managing it on a daily basis responsibly.
