International Surgeries

There has been a great deal of media attention regarding stem cell grafts and other surgical interventions to promote neurological recovery in persons with spinal cord injury. Although the science is promising, these surgeries remain experimental in nature and are not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Therefore, the Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan does not endorse any of these experimental procedures.

The Center for SCI Recovery® does, however offer intensive pre and post-surgical therapy for patients who have elected to pursue surgical options overseas. The Center for Spinal Cord Injury Recovery® at Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan is a world-class facility designed to implement and study the results of innovative treatments that may result in some level of improvement in persons with injured or damaged spinal cords.
