Patient's question:
The child has some cerebral palsy but there are no language or intellectual barriers. The issue is that they cannot walk normally and always walk on their toes. I want to ask the doctor if surgery is necessary?Doctor's answer:
You described your child's condition as having severe pain-type cerebral palsy. The symptom of walking on tiptoes is a characteristic of severe pain-type cerebral palsy, mainly caused by high muscle tone in the child. The key to treatment is to reduce the child's muscle tone, and the heel can then be placed flat. This condition does not require surgery, as surgery is invasive and involves breaking the skin, leaving scars. It is recommended to use the 3S nerve lagging technique for minimally invasive treatment. This minimally invasive technique is highly effective for the child's current condition, as it can address the issue of tiptoe walking in a short period of time, without side effects, without psychological trauma, and with relatively ideal outcomes.
