There are exciting new developments in spinal cord injury (SCI) therapies that include repetitive treadmill stepping, gait strengthening and weight bearing. They are offering new hope for individuals with SCI in South Florida .

Neuroxcel, based in North Palm Beach , now offers clients an innovative Comprehensive, Activity-based Strength Training program, known as C.A.S.T. While Neuroxcel does not cure individuals with SCI, clients work with skilled trainers and the best equipment in Neuroxcel's state-of-the-art facility, following the C.A.S.T. regimen.

Neuroxcel clients strengthen their entire body as they prepare for recovery and independence through the C.A.S.T. program that helps them:

1. Maintain physical readiness for neural recovery with individualized activity-based training programs
2. Stimulate neural tracts within the spinal cord that have been spared injury and promote neuromuscular recovery
3. Improve sensory and motor function and increase self-reliance
4. Enhance lifelong health and wellness

While many spinal cord injured individuals are in their teens and twenties, the average age of a person with SCI is 40.9 years of age. And, 99 percent of all SCIs will result in some degree of paralysis.

A study by the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation finds nearly 1 in 50 people live with SCIs, or approximately 6 million people. That’s greater than the combined populations of Los Angeles , Philadelphia , and Washington , D.C. The number of people struggling with the debilitating effects of spinal cord injury, mobility impairment, stroke and paralysis is nearly 33% higher than previous estimates showed.

With people living longer and staying more active, the number is expected to continue climbing. Unfortunately, these patients are finding few options available to them. Each year, thousands of newly-disabled people will be seeking ways to optimize their recovery and rehabilitation process.

Inspired by the late actor Christopher Reeve, patients are refusing to accept a “no hope” diagnosis. They are searching for comprehensive neurological facilities that employ a multi-faceted approach to their rehabilitation programs.

Neuroxcel is based in North Palm Beach in South Florida . It fills this role by providing individuals with SCI a road to functionality, independence, strength and recovery of lost abilities.

Like the scientific community, Neuroxcel believes there is a very real possibility that a full cure for spinal cord injury and mobility disorders can be found within our lifetime. Because of this belief, Neuroxcel is committed to duplicating its South Florida center and to building a nationwide network of neurological facilities for delivery of C.A.S.T. restorative training and research and development.
