Patient's question:
The son is 3 years old this year. Children of his age can already talk and walk, but he can't even pronounce "Mom" clearly. He still can't walk now, and the family is very anxious. They took him to the hospital for a check-up and found out that he suffers from cerebral palsy. What are the treatment methods for pediatric cerebral palsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment method for cerebral palsy involves selecting head points such as Baihui, Yintang, and Sun, as well as upper limb points like the shoulder, Quchi, Zusanli, and Hegu. For the lower limbs, points such as Huantiao, Yinmen, Fuzhong, Yanglingquan, Zusanli, Taixi, Taichong, and Kunlun are chosen. For aphasia, add Yammen and Tianzhu; for, add Scutellaria and Yeming, except for the Du channel. The surgical order is limbs first, followed by the cervical spine. The technique should be smooth, light yet firm, to avoid causing muscle spasms. Typically, friction methods are used first, gradually shifting to squatting and rolling methods. When moving the limbs, the distal parts are gradually pushed towards the proximal parts. Every 15 minutes, once every other day, a course of treatment lasts for three months.
