Can polio be cured?

Many parents and friends are now very concerned about whether polio can be cured. In recent years, the incidence of polio has been particularly rampant, causing harm to many children. Polio can also cause many sequelae, causing indelible pain to children. Here we will introduce to you whether polio can be cured and some treatment methods.

1. Physical therapy can use hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, wax therapy, phototherapy, etc. to relax the diseased muscles, enhance local blood flow and inflammation absorption.

2. Other treatment methods include cupping (cups, water jars, gas jars) and Chinese medicine fumigation and external application to promote the recovery of paralyzed limbs. There are also reports of acupoint stimulation and ligation therapy to promote muscle strength of limbs that have been paralyzed for a long time. Deformed limbs can be fixed with wood boards or plaster, and corrected with surgery.

3. Functional exercise: For paralyzed limbs that cannot move, massage and acupressure can be used first to promote blood circulation in the affected limb, improve muscle nutrition and nerve regulation, and enhance muscle strength. For those whose affected limbs can make slight movements but have very poor muscle strength, they can be helped to make passive movements such as extension, flexion, abduction, and adduction. When the limbs can move but the muscle strength is still poor, patients are encouraged to make automatic movements, perform physical therapy, and use physical therapy tools to exercise muscle strength and correct deformities.

4. Massage therapy: roll back and forth on the paralyzed limbs for 8 to 10 minutes, massage to relax the joints for 3 to 5 minutes, rub the relevant spine and limbs 5 to 6 times, and rub the local area to warm it up. Do it once a day or every other day. You can teach your family members to do it at home.

The above contents introduce some methods about how to treat polio. Friends should pay more attention to the diagnosis methods of polio sequelae. If the children around you show symptoms of the disease, you must grasp the best time for treatment, so that the children can be cured and reduce pain.
