Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

If you or a loved one has experienced an acute spinal cord injury, we're sorry that this has happened. We know that spinal cord injuries change many people's lives. Our staff at Shepherd Center believes life can still be fulfilling and enjoyable, regardless of the severity of your injury.

If you are currently in a trauma center, your doctor, case manager or discharge planner will talk to you about the next step once you are stabilized. Shepherd Center may be a rehabilitation option for you, depending on the severity of your injury, your current condition, and your insurance plan's specifications.

Our patients travel from around the nation to undergo Shepherd Center's aggressive brand of rehabilitation that you just won't find anywhere else. Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about us.

Shepherd Center is very different from a general hospital's rehabilitation unit. Our staff specializes in spinal cord injury and treats a high volume of patients - nearly 450 each year. As a result, we have more experience in dealing with spinal cord injuries at every level of injury, including people who are ventilator dependent or have a dual diagnosis of spinal cord and brain injury. Shepherd Center is one of 14 facilities in the U.S. that is designated as a Spinal Cord Injury Model System by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).
