Spinal Cord Injuries are on the rise!
There are 4,400 new cases of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in the UK each year, and 105,000 people currently living with SCI. This gives us an incidence of 65 new cases per million people and 1544 people living with SCI per million people.
The number of spinal cord injuries per year in the U.K has increased to 4400 per year, up from 2500!
Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day 2024 is held today; May 13th
The awareness day helps people to understand why and how spinal cord injuries affect people, and what treatment and care is available and needed. Spinal injuries continue to be researched for treatment and cure, and in some cases it is possible to recover the use of the limbs and regain some activities, it depends on the injury, but usually it is a lifelong injury. The awareness day provides information for sufferers, carers, health professionals and the general public on all of this.
