Patient's question:
Currently, at three years old, he can walk independently and communicate, with clear speech, but his left heel doesn't touch the ground easily, making him prone to falling. How can it be treated? How much will it cost? Can it be recovered?Doctor's answer:
Cerebral palsy treatment should be comprehensive, not solved by a single method. Currently, there are several methods for treating cerebral palsy.1. Surgical therapy
Once cerebral palsy presents with abnormal posture and movement, especially when the patient cannot stand or walk, surgical treatment is required. For children with spastic cerebral palsy, surgical treatment may improve limb function. The principle of surgical treatment is to reduce spasticity, restore and improve muscle strength balance, correct contracture deformities of muscles, joints, or bones, and create conditions for functional recovery.
2. Medication therapy
Modern medicine generally does not use medication to treat cerebral palsy. Medications can be used to address accompanying symptoms or combined disorders as symptomatic treatment.
