Looking for Treatment for Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder, associated with loss of body movement and hampering of the muscle coordination. CP mostly affects children at their infancy but some may acquire later during first 3-5 years of child’s age due to a variety of reasons, such as oxygen deprivation at birth, high blood pressure of a mother during pregnancy, faulty labour etc. CP is often associated with abnormal brain development or damage to some parts of the brain and the symptoms of it are quite evident as children with a severe form of cerebral palsy are born with the disease. Experts believe that early detection of CP can help in early diagnosis for a better outcome.
