Suggest Treatment For Spinal Bruising

I have a niece who apparently spinal bruising after a sportin mishap.

She lost feeling in her legs over half an hour after the minor impact to her back.

She had difficulty breathing prior to losing feeling.

Three days after the injury she now has feeling in both legs and can wiggle toes and feet. MRI'S and X-rays show no structural damage just bleeding and swelling. Whats the prognosis assuming no blood clots form?
