Suffering From Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Diplegia On Legs. Done Physiotherapy. Doe She Require A Surgery?

Sir, my seven and a half year old son is suffering from Cerebral Palsy in terms of Spastic Diplegia in both legs from birth. He was born as a premature kid at 7th Month. Constant physiotherapy is going on since at the age one. There has been some improvement, but the main factor remains i.e. he is still not been able to stand and walk. He has no other problem except this. In the mean time we had gone to Apollo Bangalore, RECOUP, Sparsh. They suggested physiotherapy. After few years we also went to Hyderabad N.I.M.S for opinion but they were still advising physiotherapy. Last week we again went to Apollo Bangalore and they informed us that he has to undergo a surgery. So, will you please suggest a good doctor for us to proceed with the surgery.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe your son has no improve ment in the move ment and strength of the lower limbs. The other higher functions like vision, speech, hearing, chest, and abdominal organs.
The brain must have problem at the top of the brain on both sides, with out any problem else where.
To be on safe side, try to find any problem in lower motor neurone problem , by consulting an orthopedic surgeon.
Give him fresh juice of palatable vegetables, daily.
Wishing him a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
