Question
Doctor, my baby has been showing some signs of sluggishness recently. Is this a sign of cerebral palsy? What are the specific symptoms of cerebral palsy?
Answer
Cerebral palsy is a condition caused by brain maldevelopment or white matter disease and atrophy, often triggered by factors such as umbilical cord entanglement during birth and insufficient amniotic fluid. The main symptoms include motor and language impairments. If not treated promptly, the condition may worsen, leading to issues like scoliosis and problems with the outer side of the palm. It is recommended to adopt reasonable and scientific treatment methods, such as acupuncture, massage, acupoint injection, and oral Chinese medicine. Acupuncture can reduce increased muscle tension in the limbs, aiding in joint mobility. Acupoint injection can repair nerve cells and nourish brain cells.
