Is there a cure for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury?
Not yet. Currently, there are no reliable methods that adequately reverse or repair the damage caused by spinal cord injury. However, there are people who have recovered without a “cure” and there are various treatment protocols, from the alternative to the traditional, that are being used and tested with limited success. Spinal cord injury research has also increased in recent years, thanks, in part, to the celebrity and influence of Christopher Reeve. And this research has been promising enough to make searching for a cure a viable, research goal. We may not have all the answers today but there’s still plenty of reason for hope.
