Complex Care

Facing a spinal injury can be a life-altering experience—not just for the person affected but also for their family and friends. While life may change in unexpected ways, such as adapting to new physical abilities or finding alternative hobbies, it can still be meaningful, fulfilling, and joyful.

At Eclipse Care, we’re here to help you transition from hospital to home with confidence. Our goal is to provide compassionate support as you navigate this new chapter, rediscovering joy in shared moments—whether it’s exploring new hobbies, enjoying time with loved ones, or simply creating cherished memories at home.

What is a Spinal Injury?

A spinal injury occurs when the spinal cord is damaged, either from a sudden incident like an accident or a non-traumatic cause such as a tumor or blood clot.

The spinal cord serves as the body’s communication highway, transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When it’s injured, this flow of information is disrupted, potentially affecting movement, sensation, and other vital functions below the site of the injury.

Recovery from a spinal injury varies for everyone. Some individuals regain movement and sensation over time, while others may experience long-term or permanent changes.

Risks Associated with Spinal Injuries

Spinal injuries often bring unique challenges that require careful management to maintain health and quality of life. Common risks include:

• Pressure Sores: Prolonged immobility can lead to sores without proper care.

• Temperature Regulation Issues: Difficulty maintaining normal body temperature may cause hypothermia or hyperthermia.

• Blood Pressure Spikes: Sudden increases in blood pressure may elevate the risk of stroke.

• Muscle Spasms: Uncontrolled spasms can lead to injury or discomfort.
