Cerebral Palsy

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture due to brain damage occurring before, during, or shortly after birth. It can lead to difficulties in coordination, balance, speech, and motor skills. The severity of CP varies, with some individuals experiencing mild symptoms while others face significant challenges in daily life. While there is no cure for CP, various therapies and interventions can enhance mobility, communication, and overall quality of life.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Cerebral Palsy

In Ayurveda, CP is associated with an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement, the nervous system, and muscular functions. Aggravated Vata can lead to muscle stiffness, spasms, and poor coordination. Ayurvedic treatments focus on restoring balance, improving neuromuscular function, and enhancing the overall well-being of individuals with CP.

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy can result from a combination of genetic, prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal factors, including:

Cerebral Palsy Treatment with Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™

A Holistic Ayurvedic Approach to Neuromuscular & Motor Development

At Mirakel Kids™, we follow Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™, a specialised Ayurvedic therapy uniquely designed for children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic principles, this approach nourishes, strengthens, and balances the nervous system, helping children with motor impairments, muscle stiffness, spasticity, coordination difficulties, and sensory dysfunction.

The term “Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™” comes from Sanskrit:

Mạnӧ (मनः)

Mind, psychological well-being, cognitive functions

Saṃvardhāna (संवर्धन)

Nourishment, development, enhancement

Chikitsā (चिकित्सा)

Treatment, therapy

Thus, Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™ translates to “Holistic Mind Nourishing Therapy.” It is an Ayurvedic approach designed to stabilise neuromuscular coordination, enhance motor control, regulate sensory imbalances, and improve muscle tone, particularly in children with Cerebral Palsy and other neuromuscular disorders.

Mạnӧ Saṃvardhāna Chikitsā™ is based on a structured 4-pillar protocol consisting of Bahya Chikitsa (External Therapy), Abhyantar Chikitsa (Internal Therapy), DEALS Framework, Stress & Sleep Management, and Parental Support & Holistic Development to promote overall well-being.

How Sensory Integration Works for Cerebral Palsy:

Document
  • 1 Proprioceptive Sensitivity:

    Children with Cerebral Palsy may struggle with body awareness, leading to difficulty in movement control and coordination. Ayurvedic therapies help regulate sensory input and improve motor function.

  • 2 Vestibular Sensitivity:

    Difficulty with balance and muscle control is common. Treatments like medicated oil massage, guided yoga therapy, and herbal support help stabilise posture and movement responses.

  • 3 Tactile Sensitivity:

    Some children experience hypersensitivity or reduced touch perception, affecting their ability to respond to physical contact. Abhyanga, herbal baths, and sensory stimulation therapy help normalise touch sensitivity.

Benefits for Cerebral Palsy

  • Enhances neuromotor coordination & mobility
  • Improves muscle flexibility & strength
  • Strengthens brain function & sensory regulation
  • Reduces involuntary movements & emotional distress
