Cerebral Palsy Treatment in Mumbai & Jaipur

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, posture, and muscle coordination due to damage to the developing brain. It is one of the most common motor disabilities in children, impacting muscle tone, balance, and coordination. While the condition itself is not progressive, its symptoms can change over time and may require lifelong care and therapy.

At Surya Hospital, our team of pediatric neurologists and rehabilitation specialists in Mumbai and Jaipur provides comprehensive evaluation, therapy, and treatment plans for children with cerebral palsy. Early intervention can make a significant difference in improving mobility, speech, and independence.

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy occurs when brain damage or abnormal development disrupts the brain’s ability to control movement and posture. This can happen before, during, or shortly after birth.

Children with CP may experience:

Muscle stiffness (spasticity) or floppiness (hypotonia)
Poor coordination and balance
Developmental delays such as late rolling, sitting, or walking
Difficulty with speech or swallowing
Involuntary movements or tremors

The severity of symptoms varies — some children may need lifelong care, while others may lead relatively independent lives with therapy and support.

Causes and Risk Factors

Cerebral palsy can occur due to multiple factors, including:

Premature birth or low birth weight
Lack of oxygen during labor or delivery
Maternal infections during pregnancy (rubella, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus)
Brain injury or infection in early childhood
Multiple births (twins, triplets)

Diagnosis and Early Detection

Most children with CP are diagnosed within the first two years of life. Doctors use a combination of neurological exams, developmental screenings, and imaging tests (like MRI scans) to identify abnormalities in brain development.

Early detection allows for timely therapy — improving outcomes in muscle control, balance, and overall development.
