Hello,
I am afraid there aren't any specific available treatments for spinal cord injury. Management consists mainly of physical therapy, medication is used is to alleviate symptoms, can't reverse the damage to the spinal cord. Some improvement is expected for a year, maybe even two, but some disability may remain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olsi Taka,
