Rebuild Life After Transverse Myelitis
With Advanced Regenerative Rehabilitation at Plexus
Transverse myelitis is a rare neurological condition. It is characterized by inflammation of the spinal cord, leading to various degrees of motor, sensory, and autonomic dysfunction. This disorder can be idiopathic or result from other underlying causes, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and demyelinating conditions.
Causes of Transverse Myelitis
Transverse myelitis is an acquired inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the spinal cord. The are various factors that can trigger the condition are:
1. Viral and/or bacterial infections
Such as herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, Epstein-Barr, and mycoplasma pneumonia
2. Autoimmune disorders
Such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neuromyelitis optica
3. Other factors
Such as vascular problems, paraneoplastic syndromes, spinal cord injuries, and post-vaccination complications
Symptoms of Transverse Myelitis
Sensory disturbances
Motor dysfunction
Pain
Bowel and bladder problems
Autonomic dysfunction
Decreased/heightened reflexes
Paralysis
Transverse Myelitis Differential Diagnosis
The clinical presentation of some autoimmune inflammatory diseases can overlap with transverse myelitis. These diseases include:
Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO)
Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Spinal Cord Compression
Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)
Infections
Systemic Autoimmune Diseases
Cell Treatment for Transverse Myelitis at Plexus
At Plexus, we use autologous mesenchymal cells or neural cells to treat transverse myelitis.
01 Mesenchymal Cells (MSCs)
Often sourced from bone marrow or adipose tissue, MSCs have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the autoimmune response and promote spinal cord repair.
02 Neural Cells
They have the potential to differentiate into nerve cells and tissues, and regenerate the damaged spinal cord tissue.
Causes of Sensory Processing Disorder
It is not clear yet what exactly causes sensory issues in children. While some researchers believe that it may be connected to the way the sensory pathways in the brain process and organize information.
While it is also unclear if sensory issues can occur on their own or if they are caused by another disorder. Some doctors and healthcare professionals believe sensory processing issues are a symptom of another issue rather than a diagnosis in itself.
Our treatment program at Plexus
We are one of the leading Sensory Processing Disorder treatment centers in the country. Under the guided supervision of Dr Na’eem Sadiq, our team of occupational therapists provides Sensory Integration Therapy to treat neurological conditions like Cerebral Palsy in children.
After a thorough evaluation, we determine how the therapy will benefit your child’s condition. Our therapists plan a sensory diet exclusively for your little ones and record their improvements on a weekly basis.
We provide coping strategies for your child to overcome sensory processing issues by:
- Anticipating action and outcome
- Correctly interpreting sensory input
- Creating physical equilibrium and a sense of space
- Developing positive behavior patterns
- Eliminating fear
- Encouraging play and socialization
- Lessening sensory defensiveness
- Minimizing input intolerance
- Reducing negative physical reactions
