Electrical stimulation gives hope to paralyzed teen

I actually had months of electrical stimulation therapy within the first few months of my injury and i believe it made a world's difference to my recovery. I had weight bearing precautions due to a fractured hip during the first few months so the E-stim was only applied to my upper body. My entire arm, hands, shoulders, chest, and some of my back muscles were given this therapy and i started noticing my progress speeding up within a week. I would have E-stim 5 times a week for an hour all week days. If this type of therapy is available to the spinal cord injured and deemed beneficial by a doctor or therapist, then its def worth a shot. 

E-stim can also be beneficial to both newly injured and people injured for longer periods of time. It can aid in maintaining remaining muscular integrity, muscle toning and relaxing, pain prevention, and enhancing the healing process(like in my case).
