About Paralysis

Paralysis is not a medical procedure but a symptom or condition characterized by the loss of muscle function and sensation in part of the body, often resulting from damage to the nervous system. An Internal Medicine specialist plays a crucial role in the comprehensive diagnosis and management of paralysis. This involves a detailed medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or Guillain-Barré syndrome, through neurological exams, imaging (like MRI or CT scans), and laboratory tests. The management is multidisciplinary, focusing on treating the root cause, preventing complications, and implementing rehabilitation strategies to maximize recovery and improve the patient's quality of life through physical therapy, medications, and assistive devices.
