Treatment of CP in
Yuncheng People's Hospital is an international pediatric rehabilitation center where children with all forms of cerebral palsy receive individualized programs combining traditional Chinese medicine and modern Western methods. The minimum recommended course is 2–3 months.
What is Cerebral Palsy (CP)?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common reason families come to Yuncheng People's Hospital: the clinic treats children with all forms of CP, combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern Western rehabilitation methods. The clinic describes itself as an international center for comprehensive pediatric rehabilitation that uses advanced technology and an individualized approach, focused on the child's overall development and social adaptation.
The CP rehabilitation program combines several methods at once: physical therapy (PT), TCM Tuina massage, acupuncture (including electroacupuncture and cranial/cerebral acupuncture), occupational therapy, speech (logopedic) massage, sensory integration, and TCM-specific methods — needle-knife, pharmacopuncture (point injections), collagen thread implantation, and herbal medicine. The specialist team regularly adjusts the program during treatment and teaches parents home-exercise techniques.
What parents should know
The rehabilitation course is built individually and, based on the clinic's experience, meaningful results typically require 2 to 3 months. Parents are involved from day one: specialists explain exercise techniques for home practice and stay in touch throughout the course.
Required examinations
Before the video consultation, the clinic needs a recent medical discharge summary with the diagnosis, a brief case history, and short videos of the child's motor abilities. If available, it is helpful to include a brain MRI and, if the child has had seizures, an EEG report.
Causes

Symptoms
Based on the clinic's patient experience, CP most often presents with muscle tone disturbances (spasticity), delayed head control, sitting, crawling and walking, and gait and coordination problems. Forms treated at the clinic include spastic diplegia and spastic tetraparesis, often combined with delayed speech development.
Diagnostics
Before starting rehabilitation, the clinic asks for a current medical discharge summary with the diagnosis and a brief case history. If available, it helps to provide a brain MRI and, if the child has a history of seizures, an EEG report. A video consultation showing the child's motor abilities (rolling over, crawling, sitting, walking with support) helps the doctor prepare recommendations before arrival.
Prognosis and Treatment Approach
The clinic's long-term experience shows that noticeable rehabilitation results in CP require a comprehensive course of 2 to 3 months. The program combines PT, TCM Tuina massage, acupuncture, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and TCM methods (needle-knife, pharmacopuncture, collagen thread implantation, herbal medicine). Based on the clinic's patient experience, many families complete several treatment courses spaced a few months apart to consolidate and build on progress.
