After persistent treatment with acupuncture, many children with cerebral palsy went from not being able to speak and just lying in one place to now being able to speak, walk, move, perceive, and communicate almost like normal children of the same ages. Acupuncture has brought hope to many families with children with cerebral palsy.
Every year, National Hospital of Acupuncture examines and treats thousands of children with cerebral palsy. Children are treated with traditional medicine methods such as electro-acupuncture, hydro-acupuncture, acupressure massage, thread – embedding acupuncture, etc. combined with many modern medical treatment methods such as infrared rays, exercise, communication practice etc.
My grandchild was asphyxiated at birth. After birth, my family found that he was slow to roll over and crawl. At 2 years old, he still couldn't walk on his own, had difficulty holding objects, and couldn't speak yet. His family took him to many places to see doctors and learned about Cerebral Palsy on the Internet, finding that Acupuncture was the best treatment for his disease. Indeed, after more than 1 year of continuous treatment, my grandchild can walk on his own, say many words, say "I love you", know how to actively hug and kiss me, know how to ask, refuse and express emotions, expressing clear emotions, my family is very happy. Currently, he still has a slight lisp on the "M" sound. My family will try to persevere in giving him continued treatment so that he can have the best recovery!" - Those are the emotional shares of M.T.T's grandmother (Department of Treatment and Care for Cerebral Palsy Children).
According to Dr. Nguyen Manh Toan - Head of Department of Treatment and Care for Children with Cerebral Palsy – National Hospotal of Acupuncture: “Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disease of diffuse brain damage due to many causes that occurs in the perinatal period until the child is 5 years old. Common symptoms are delayed language and motor development. When you see that your child has signs of developing slower than his or her age such as slow rolling, slow sitting, slow walking, slow speaking, etc., you should take the child for examination and treatment as soon as possible so that the child does not suffer secondary damage. Children with cerebral palsy, if treated early and rehabilitated early, will be more effective and reduce disability rates.
