Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders that affect movement, muscle tone, and motor skills. It is caused by damage to the brain that occurs during or shortly after birth, affecting the brain’s ability to control muscles and coordinate movement. Symptoms can vary widely, from mild motor impairments to severe physical disabilities, and may include spasticity (muscle stiffness), difficulty with balance and coordination, and involuntary movements.

Managing cerebral palsy involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at improving functional abilities and quality of life. Treatment typically includes physical therapy to enhance movement and coordination, occupational therapy to assist with daily living skills, and speech therapy to address communication difficulties. Orthopedic interventions and medications may also be used to manage muscle tone and prevent complications. At Prime Care Hospital, our pediatric specialists provide comprehensive care for children with CP, focusing on personalized treatment plans to support development, mobility, and independence. Early intervention and ongoing therapy are essential for achieving the best outcomes and improving overall well-being for children with cerebral palsy.
