Patient's question:
My child is 5 months and 20 days old. Born 50 days early. They haven't started rolling yet and stand on their toes. The doctor says it's due to high muscle tone but it's not cerebral palsy. What are the possible causes of high muscle tone?Doctor's answer:
Hypertonia primarily refers to an excessive increase in local muscle tension, resulting in abnormal excitement or stiffness of limbs. This is usually caused by brain diseases that lead to metabolic disorders and neurological abnormalities. It is recommended that you consider acupuncture treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, which can significantly improve the patient's symptoms. There is a high possibility of cure, and for children with cerebral palsy, rehabilitation training is an indispensable part of the treatment process. Reasonable (scientific) cerebral palsy rehabilitation training can help children with cerebral palsy recover better and faster.
