Patient: Hi, my daughter is 14 years old,studying in 8th std(English medium) in normal girls school and at the age of about 1 yr 3 months,doctors of C O H hospital,Haji ali,diagnosed her and said she is suffering from C P spastic quadriplegia, at present she is advised to do physiotheraphy exercise at home ,which is 1 to 2 times shown by child physiotherapist,and also taking homeopathy medicines from last 1 yr 6 months, from last few days she is taking allopathy medicines like Macalvit syrup, supradyn tablets,most important fact is that while she walking,she walks with bend position. So,considering the above fact,please suggest me the acurate treatment for my daughter,I am very much worried for her future. Doctor: Hi,  For children with spasticity, physiotherapy is the main treatment. Medications may help in loosen the tightness.   If contracture happened, then surgical management is the treatment option depending on the limitation of movements.  For your daughter, I would advice you to get a pediatric orthopedician opinion, who can guide on further management.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
