A spinal cord injury (SCI) is a life-altering event that presents one of the most profound challenges a person can face. At Apricot Care, we understand that this journey requires more than just standard physiotherapy; it demands a team of highly specialized experts, a comprehensive and proactive care plan, and an environment of unwavering support and hope.
Our dedicated SCI rehabilitation program in Pune is designed to empower you. We focus on maximizing your functional independence, providing you with the skills to master your environment, and guiding you in managing your health to live a full, active, and meaningful life.
A complete SCI recovery plan addresses every aspect of a person's life, from physical strength to daily activities and long-term health. Our integrated program includes:
A spinal cord injury involves damage to the spinal cord itself—the vital communication highway that carries signals between your brain and the rest of your body. This disruption affects movement, sensation, and other body functions below the level of the injury.
The causes of SCI are often traumatic, with studies indicating that road traffic accidents and falls account for over 75% of spinal injuries in India. Understanding the specifics of your injury is the first step in creating a realistic and effective rehabilitation plan.
The primary goal of modern SCI rehabilitation is to empower you with the strength, skills, and knowledge to achieve the highest possible level of functional independence and quality of life. It is a proactive, goal-oriented process that celebrates a new kind of strength and resilience.

This is the most important question for many. The potential for walking depends entirely on whether your injury is "complete" or "incomplete." For a complete injury, the focus is on maximizing independence using a wheelchair. For some incomplete injuries, intensive rehabilitation can help regain some walking function. We will always provide you with an honest, realistic assessment of your potential and set goals that are meaningful for you.
A pressure sore is a skin wound caused by prolonged pressure that cuts off circulation. For individuals with SCI, who may not be able to feel these areas, they can become very deep and dangerous, leading to severe infections. Preventing them through regular pressure relief and skin checks is one of the most critical skills we teach.
AD is a medical emergency that can affect those with injuries at the T6 level or higher. It is an over-reaction of the nervous system to a stimulus below the injury (like a full bladder), causing a dangerous spike in blood pressure. We provide critical education on how to recognize and react to the symptoms immediately.
For many people with SCI, the answer is yes! Our Occupational Therapists are experts in this area. They can provide guidance on vehicle hand controls and adaptive driving, as well as work with you on vocational rehabilitation to find the tools and strategies needed to return to a fulfilling career.
