Spinal injury medicine deals with spinal cord injury, also called myelopathy. A spinal injury specialist is a physician who diagnoses and treats injuries and disorders of the spinal cord that results in loss of movement and sensation. The spinal cord does not have to be severed for there to be a loss of function. Injury to the spinal cord can affect a patient’s physical and psychological health, and the physician usually treats the condition for the lifetime of the patient.
