There are a number of different areas within the condition that can be helped, and often a cerebral palsy patient will work with different types of doctors to improve on many fronts. Medications exist for patients that have need to relax stiff muscles, and to address some feeding problems in babies. Physical therapy and occupational therapy can help improve a patient’s mobility or ability to perform daily tasks, and speech therapy can be used to improve communication skills. For the most part, therapy and medications are viewed as positive interventions to manage the condition. However, due to the nature of the condition, improvements in cerebral palsy patients can be difficult with conventional treatment, and damage is often viewed as irreversible as the body regenerative capabilities are insufficient to completely reverse or repair damaged neurons in the brain. Conventional treatments are intended only to mitigate symptoms and make them more manageable, and do not address the root cause, which is considered complete and irreversible.
