Question
My friend’s son has trouble walking and his legs look different from other children. Initially, I thought it was just a developmental issue, so I took the baby to the hospital for a check-up. To my surprise, it turned out to be 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 therapy (injection of nerve growth factors, botulinum toxin), functional rehabilitation training, instrumental therapy (cerebral circulation, muscle stimulation, meridian assessment, hyperbaric oxygen), traditional Chinese medicine therapy (medicated bath, acupuncture, massage), and device correction. The duration of treatment depends on the child’s recovery situation.
