This pilot trial is enrolling 30 individuals with spinal cord injuries for at least 2 months to test the feasibility and effect of pulsed magnetic stimulation of the spinal cord on lower limb spasticity. Investigators hypothesize that low dose magnetic stimulation may reduce abnormal nerve connections in the injured spinal cord that cause spasticity. If included, participants will be admitted as in-patients and will receive either: 1) intermittent pulsed magnetic stimulation of the spinal cord; or 2) no stimulation, over a period of 28 days. Final testing of spasticity and pain scores will be performed after 28 days.
