Excellence in Rehabilitation

When you’re recovering from a spinal cord injury, you want a team of specially trained doctors, therapists and nurses at your side to help you succeed. At select Sutter locations, our caregivers give you the opportunity to gain as much independence as possible and find personal support and encouragement to begin building a new life.

Spinal cord rehabilitation can take place on an inpatient basis at a hospital, on an acute level at a rehabilitation center or on an outpatient basis. Our rehabilitation experts emphasize a comprehensive and personalized approach to recovery that not only focuses on physical care, but also your cognitive, emotional, behavioral and social well-being. We use an interdisciplinary team approach that incorporates neuropsychologists, recreation therapists, case managers, dietitians and other caregivers to help put you on the path to better health.
