Treadmill training after SCI promotes recovery

My feet fall off even indoors!  I use an inexpensive, very lightweight nylon 1" webbing with FastClip buckle around my ankles.  Does the job.  Did I mention that I'm the Queen of Cheap?!

Could you tell me more about the cold laser treatments? I checked online and didn't find anything too detailed. 

Cold laser is a relatively new treatment for nerve dysfunction, pain management, reduction of inflammation, and improved wound healing.  Using particular frequencies (wavelengths), photons are infused to stimulate neural pathways from point of injury to targeted site where function can be observed.  For me, it "awakened" (my word) the nerves so that more message was carried and motor function improved.  Sensory function was not as dramatically improved.  Mainstream doctors consider the treatment controversial, and most insurance will not pay for it, nor will Medicare/Medicade.  More chiropractors are incorporating it into their practice.  Of course, much opportunity for fraud!  My chiropractor, a personal friend, was experimenting when he tried it on me--non-invasive so no recovery time, no negative side effects reported, and no need to take more meds.  I was game, and the dramatic results I had prompted him to use this on other patients with neuropathies and inflammatory pain.  Repeated treatments are most effective, but I could only afford a limited number.  The results lasted, even though interrupted for a long period by my use of high-dose steroid.  If you decide to try cold laser, probably a chiropractor is going to be administering this treatment.  Wear protective eye gear, just in case...  Finding a credible chiropractor, who has the right equipment and has learned how to use it, is not simple.

Interesting article on TBI--if you get through this, you've probably healed coneiderably already!!!!
