Treatment of Paralysis

Paralysis treatment in India has made long strides in terms of providing better healthcare, treatments and physiotherapy for paralysis. There still needs lot to be done to provide complete paralysis treatment, however, recent experiments conducted on rats and cats shows that damaged nerves can be repaired and severed spinal cord can also be regenerated, but it is a long way before such maneuvers can be tried in humans. So unless, a major breakthrough is announced in the paralysis treatment in India, sadly, there is little that can be done apart from a few cases where it is curable to a certain extent.
The varied types of paralysis have different treatment plans for instance, the onset of Poliomyelitis can be prevented through vaccination, and a large number of people with Guillian – Barre syndrome make recovery on their own. Sometimes Doctors even recommend Functional Electrical Stimulation to treat paralysis. In this treatment plan electrical impulses are used to stimulate the muscles to restore function.

Some of the things that can provide some relief to paralyzed people are as follows;

1. Mobility Equipments – Mobility equipments like wheelchairs or braces,walker,provide support in moibility of paralysed patient.
