Question
A friend’s son walks awkwardly, and his legs are different from other children. Initially, it was thought that it was due to poor development, so the baby was taken to the hospital for a check-up. However, the result was cerebral palsy. I’ve heard of this disease before, but I didn’t know the symptoms or how to treat it.
Answer
The treatment methods vary depending on the type of cerebral palsy. The main treatments include medication (injection of nerve growth factors, botulinum toxin), functional rehabilitation training, instrumental therapy (cerebral circulation, muscle stimulation, meridian assessment, hyperbaric oxygen), traditional Chinese medicine treatment (medicated bath, acupuncture, massage), and device adjustment. The duration of treatment depends on the child’s recovery status.
