Question
My uncle’s child was recently diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and the whole family is very worried. So I want to know, is cerebral palsy an easily treatable condition?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is not an easily treatable condition and requires long-term dedication and treatment. It cannot be cured to the level of a normal person, but only to a level approaching normalcy. The main treatments currently available are traditional Chinese medicine and physical functional training. However, if limb deformities reoccur, it is recommended that the child undergo surgery to correct the deformities, which can help with the disease. There are many treatment methods for the disease, but due to the varying conditions of patients, the medical treatments adopted also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to undergo detailed examinations by professional healthcare providers as soon as possible to tailor treatment accordingly.
