Question
When my baby was just born, he didn’t cry much, neither did he drink milk, he had very little strength, his eyes wouldn’t follow objects, his expressions were simple, he always tilted his head back, his development was slow, and he couldn’t grasp things either. It was very strange. After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said the baby had cerebral palsy. What is pediatric cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy typically refers to a movement disorder caused by non-progressive brain damage or developmental abnormalities, with primary causes including premature birth, asphyxia, and birth injuries. Patients with cerebral palsy often have epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, sensory impairments, and behavioral disorders. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture for the treatment of this condition, which has good therapeutic effects with no negative side effects. Consider using Chinese herbal medicine to treat myocardial ischemia and insufficient cerebral blood supply, while also increasing protein intake, consuming high-fiber foods and fruits, and maintaining regular exercise and lifestyle.
