Prevention of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)

This section details important aspects of primary and secondary prevention in regard to spinal-cord injuries.

Whilst acknowledging the research work being done in the search for appropriate treatments and even a “cure” for spinal cord injury and paralysis, it is important to recognise that preventing these injuries from occurring in the first place is a far more cost-effective and ultimately more rational approach.

As the old saying goes: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!!
