Question
Hello, my younger brother is only 4 years old. During his last physical examination, the hospital said he has pediatric cerebral palsy. My mother is beside herself with worry and wants to try traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. So, I would like to ask, how does traditional Chinese medicine treat pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to help you with that: Based on the above situation, acupuncture is often used in the treatment of cerebral palsy. In clinical practice, acupuncture is often combined with rehabilitation training to enhance clinical efficacy to some extent. The principle of acupuncture treatment is to nourish the liver and kidneys, replenish Qi and nourish blood, and use the method of dispersing collaterals, especially needle techniques. It is recommended that you go to a professional hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor’s advice for targeted treatment.
