Spastic children can be helped
The source of the problem is not the affected limbs but in the cells of
the brain. Correct treatment given an early in life can often
bring great benefits, though not an absolute cure. No way has yet been found
to repair the damage done to the brain cells. The damage does not spread,
but without skilled and professional treatment, the affect of the damage
does become more serious.
Thus early recognition that something is wrong with a child needs to be
followed by skillful and speedy diagnosis of the child's condition and needs
by specialists. This is followed by provision of whatever treatment that
may be needed. Spastic children deserve the best standard of care that love
and modern knowledge can give.
