Spinal Cord Injury
Program
Available to both inpatients and outpatients, Kentfield's
spinal cord injury program provides specialized care to individuals
with a wide range of diagnoses.
Treatment
Through aggressive integrated therapies and modalities, patients
with recent or long-standing problems in spinal cord function
maximize their potential for mobility and self-care. Treatment
by our multidisciplinary team includes:
- interdisciplinary rehabilitation therapy
- comprehensive urological, pulmonary, pain management and
wound care consultations
- pharmacological and dietary modifications
- psychology/neuropsychology for patient and family adjustment
- sexual counseling
- equipment identified for functional independence
- community resources recommended at discharge
Education
At Kentfield, we believe that education is an important part
of the treatment process. Our program focuses on patient and
family education regarding:
- spinal cord physiology
- bowel and bladder care
- skin care
- pulmonary hygiene
- psychosocial adjustment
Local and national resources are also available.
