This page from SCIRE has excellent information and resources for primary care providers (family doctors, nurse practitioners, etc.). Encourage your health care team to use this site to learn more about SCI.
In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in the role and effectiveness of primary care in spinal cord injury; however, in most typical primary care practices, there are only a handful of patients with spinal cord injuries, and there is considerable uncertainty among family physicians about how to provide people with SCI with an optimal standard of care. This site will help your care team to better understand the health experiences you have after SCI and how to treat you.
