About Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is not a single procedure but a lifelong neurological condition caused by non-progressive damage to the developing brain, affecting movement, posture, and muscle tone. An Internal Medicine specialist plays a crucial role in the comprehensive, multidisciplinary management of adults with CP. This involves coordinating care to address associated medical conditions, managing chronic pain, preventing secondary complications, and optimizing overall health and function. The focus is on a holistic, patient-centered approach that includes medication management, nutritional guidance, preventive screenings, and referrals to specialists like neurologists, physiatrists, and orthopedic surgeons to enhance quality of life and independence.
