Question
Yesterday, when I came home, I saw my neighbor’s child playing downstairs and played with him for a while. I noticed that the child seemed a bit slow in his responses and his speech was not very fluent. Later, I learned that he is a cerebral palsy patient. I want to know how to help him, but I am not a doctor, so I came here seeking professional advice.
Answer
The treatment of cerebral palsy patients usually involves acupuncture therapy. Doctors will select appropriate acupoints based on the patient’s condition for acupuncture to regulate the body’s yin and yang balance, thereby improving the patient’s condition. In addition, balanced nutritional supplementation is also very important. Patients should consume a comprehensive and balanced diet, avoid picky eating, especially eating more vegetables and fruits, which help with digestion and contain beneficial trace elements for the body.
