Glenda, from South Africa, suffered a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). After conducting numerous searches online, Glenda learnt about globalstemcells.com as well as Stem Cell Therapy. She contacted one of our Patient Representatives and asked all the questions she had.

After arriving in Bangkok and having a proper assessment done, Glenda received a comprehensive treatment plan. This included stem cell injections, acupuncture, physiotherapy and aqua-therapy. After receiving the treatment, Glenda is now able to feel her legs, and has been able to move some muscles too, in only a few weeks.

Spinal Cord Injury Symptoms

According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, there are many different symptoms or signs of SCI. Some of the more common signs of SCI include:
- Extreme pain or pressure in the neck, head, or back
- Tingling or loss of sensation in the hand, fingers, feet, or toes
- Partial or complete loss of control over any part of the body
- Urinary or bowel urgency, incontinence, or retention
- Difficulty with balance and walking
- Abnormal band-like sensations in the thorax—pain, pressure
- Impaired breathing after injury
- Unusual lumps on the head or spine
Spinal Cord Injuries are not always immediately recognisable. The following injuries should be assessed for possible damage to the spinal cord:
- Head injuries, particularly those with trauma to the face
- Pelvic fractures
- Penetrating injuries in the area of the spine
- Injuries from falling from heights

If any of these injuries occur together with any of the symptoms mentioned above (acute head, neck, or back pain; decline of feeling in the extremities; loss of control over part of the body; urinary or bowel problems; walking difficulty; pain or pressure bands in the chest area; difficulty breathing; head or spine lumps), then SCI may be implicated.

Regenerative SCI Treatment: Glenda Describes her Experience

Disappointed with the various hospitals and clinics she’d visited prior to coming to Bangkok, Glenda was proud that she took the leap of faith and contacted globalstemcells.com. The facilities in Bangkok were top notch, the members of staff were caring and worked as a team, and the treatment regimen was thorough.

Her piece of advice to patients who are suffering from SCIs and wondering about Stem Cell Therapy? Glenda says, “If you don’t try it, you’ll never know.”

After an accident caused his Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) at 14 years old, Zdenek tried having Regenerative Treatment in India. However, the treatment there didn’t go as well as he had expected.

After contacting us and being in consultation with one of our Patient Representatives, Zdenek decided to travel to Bangkok for treatment. He is now able to keep his balance, and his triceps and muscles have improved.

How do Spinal Cord Injuries occur?

Spinal cord injuries occur when there is any damage to the spinal cord that blocks communication between the brain and the body. After a spinal cord injury, a person’s sensory, motor and reflex messages are affected and may not be able to get past the damage in the spinal cord. In general, the higher on the spinal cord the injury occurs, the more dysfunction the person will experience. Injuries are referred to as complete or incomplete, based on whether any movement and sensation occurs at or below the level of injury.

The most important factor to note, however, is that each person’s recovery from Spinal Cord Injury is different.

Unfortunately, there are at present no known ways to reverse damage to the spinal cord. However, researchers are continually working on new treatments, including prostheses, stem cell treatments, epidural stimulation procedures and medications, which may promote regeneration of nerve cells or improve the function of the nerves that remain after an SCI.

SCI treatment currently focuses on preventing further injury and empowering people with an SCI to return to an active and productive life.

Zdenek is an example of this, as after receiving his Regenerative Treatment, is, determined to improve his bladder and hand function and to gain as much independence as he can.

It is often said, that disability is not inability, and we are optimistic that Zdenek, will continue to improve while on his journey to recovery, and also be able to enjoy a great quality of life while at it.
