Even though there is no known cure for cerebral palsy, several effective treatment methods can help manage the condition and help your child thrive, including medications, different therapies, and surgery.
Medications are prescribed when the child is experiencing seizures or has spastic cerebral palsy. Speech therapy, physical therapy, aquatic therapy, and occupational therapy are all useful in improving a child’s quality of life. In addition, special types of medical braces can be used to address mobility issues.
Surgical options are often reserved as a last-resort form of treatment. Surgery could be beneficial for feet, legs, hips, hands, arms, and spinal problems when other forms of treatment have not been effective.
