| Cerebral Palsy |
Cerebral Palsy is a Neurological Disability.
Neurological development follows a precise and predictable sequence, especially in early
prenatal life. It provides a necessary background for all futures development and learning.
These are the factors which are lost or inhibited by physical or chemical trauma to the central
nervous system, most commonly by lack of oxygen during or near the time of birth.
Inappropriate movements and postures are the result of interference with, or loss of, sensory
ability or physical functions which are normally developed during early prenatal life.
All "deformities" reflect neurological developmental imbalance, and therefore should be corrected
by addressing neuro-sensory factors.
Deformities become "orthopedic" through imbalance of neurological stimulus for extended
periods of time.
Most neurological failure and coordination problems can be improved. Most deformities can be
prevented when the deformities are still limited to soft tissue.
Our treatment methods are designed to stimulate the nervous system, to define and correct its
own errors and make the necessary corrections.
