Spinal Injury Resources

Every year 1,000 people are paralysed due to a spinal cord injury.

Paralysis can now be treated and, thanks to the research of charities like Spinal Research and other organisations, we are on the brink of being able to apply therapies that will bring movement and feeling to those suffering paralysis.
