The most sensitive and complex part of the human body is the nervous system. Most of the injuries either they are genetic or even if they are environmental are almost impossible to cure 100%. In an accident, if our cell body or neuron system is affected or any spinal disc is dislocated, the recovery will be as hard as boiling the ocean. In these procedures recovery is slow and 100% stability can’t be achieved in most cases and you will have to take therapy for a lifetime.
