Question
A 5-year-old child with cerebral palsy is currently unable to walk and has been experiencing a decline in mental state recently. How should this situation be handled?
Answer
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, and the specific acupoints chosen by each physician may vary. According to the described situation, there is no specific combination of acupuncture points that can guarantee the child will be able to walk, but a trial period of treatment can be attempted to observe any improvements. The treatment methods for cerebral palsy are diverse, but as patient symptoms vary, the treatment approach must also be individualized. Therefore, it is recommended to seek professional diagnosis as soon as possible for targeted treatment.
