Can post-polio syndrome be treated?

Patient's question:

When I was young, I contracted post-polio syndrome, and it's been about 20 years now! I want to ask if there is still treatment available?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is advisable to first visit a hospital's orthopedics department for an examination to see if surgery is possible, as some functions can be restored. The sequelae of poliomyelitis can only be treated with physical therapy. Guidance: The longest treatment methods include local massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy to achieve the effect of restoring limb function. It is appropriate to take nerve nourishing drugs orally together. It is best to go to a regular and professional hospital for a detailed examination before starting treatment.
