Spinal Cord Injury
The spinal cord contains the nerves that carry messages between your brain and body. The cord passes through your neck and back. A spinal cord injury is very serious because it can cause loss of movement (paralysis) below the site of the injury.

Considerations
When someone has a spinal injury, additional movement may cause further damage to the nerves in the cord and can sometimes mean the difference between life and death. If you think someone could possibly have a spinal injury, do not move the injured person even a little bit, unless it is absolutely necessary (for example, if you need to get someone out of a burning car). If you are not sure if a person has a spinal injury, assume that he or she does have one.
Symptoms
- Head held in unusual position
- Numbness or tingling that spreads down an arm or leg
- Weakness
- Difficulty walking
- Paralysis (loss of movement) of arms or legs
- No bladder or bowel control
- Shock (pale, clammy skin bluish lips and fingernails; acting dazed or semiconscious)
- Lack of alertness (unconsciousness)
- Stiff neck, headache or neck pain
Stem Cell Facts Spinal Cord Injury
Researchers have recently reported the use of umbilical cord blood stem cells to restore feeling and mobility to a spinal cord injury patient
First Aid
The main goal is to keep the person immobile and safe until medical help arrives.
- Hold the person's head and neck in the position in which they were found. DO NOT attempt to reposition the neck. Do not allow the neck to bend or twist.
- Do not allow the person to get up and walk unassisted.
If the person is unresponsive
- Check the person's breathing and circulation. If necessary, begin rescue breathing and CPR
- DO NOT tilt the head back when attempting to open the airway. Instead, place your fingers on the jaw on each side of the head lift the jaw forward.
If you need to roll the person
Do not roll the person over unless the person is vomiting or choking on blood or you need to check for breathing.
- Two people are needed.
- One person should be located at the person's head and the other at the person's side.
- Keep the person's head, neck and back in line with each other while you roll him or her onto one side.
Things you should not do
- DO NOT bend, twist or lift the person's head or body.
- DO NOT attempt to move the person before medical help arrives unless it is absolutely necessary.
- DO NOT remove a helmet if a spinal injury is suspected.
Prevention
- Wear seat belts.
- Avoid drinking alcohol and driving.
- Avoid diving into pools, lakes, rivers and other bodies of water, particularly if you cannot determine the depth of the water or if the water is not clear.
- Avoid motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles.
- Avoid tackling or diving into a person with your head.

Stem Cell Therapy
Numerous clinical trials are going on all over the world, including India using stem cells from various sources.
We, at ReeCure offer you therapy using stem cells using our proprietary technology.
These stem cells could be of various types viz. Hematopoietic (CD 34+), Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are processed and isolated using Good Manufacturing (GMP) and Good Lab Practices (GLP) and in accordance with AABB standards.
After years of extensive research and systematic compilation and collation of relevant data (through its research division), ReeLabs is now supremely confident of not only reversing the disease process of the affected patient but also improving the quality of life manifold. Stem cells produced by ReeLabs are completely safe, non-toxic, easy to administer and totally devoid of side effects with an excellent probability of homing and engraftment with parent cell, tissue or organ. The eminent panel of scientists and researchers at ReeLabs work exhaustively to design accurate treatment protocols that have yielded excellent results in most cases.
Stem Cell Facts Spinal Cord Injury
In a spinal cord injury or disorder, without a new source of functioning nerve tissue, no therapeutic possibilities exist except for stem cells.
These stem cells are procured from various sources including bone marrow, cord blood, fat, etc. as per the requirement of the patient. Use of stem cells can help cause remyelination of the damaged area of spinal cord.
Use of stem cells is the only hope medical science can offer to patients with spinal cord injury. According to some publications patients have shown tremendous improvements & have started walking with support. For stem cell therapy to be successful the patient should also undergo regular physiotherapy & build up strength in the muscles.
