How to cure polio?

In life, there are some children who are born with polio. Such a disease will affect the child's life, because there is no effective treatment for polio so far. However, even so, as long as active treatment is carried out, the severity of the disease can at least be alleviated. So what is the best way to treat polio? Let's briefly introduce it below.

Poliomyelitis, also known as poliomyelitis, is an acute infectious disease caused by the polio virus. The main clinical manifestations are fever, sore throat and limb pain, and some patients may develop flaccid paralysis. During the epidemic, there are many cases of latent infection and no paralysis. The incidence rate in children is higher than that in adults. Before the universal vaccination, infants and young children were particularly prone to the disease, so it is also called poliomyelitis. The main lesions are in the gray matter of the spinal cord, and those with severe damage may have paralysis sequelae. Since the widespread use of vaccines to prevent this disease in the late 1950s, its incidence has dropped significantly. After smallpox was eradicated in the 1970s, polio has been set as the next target to be eradicated by the end of this century.

1. Acupuncture treatment

Poliomyelitis is suitable for those who are young, have a short course of illness, and have no obvious limb atrophy. Acupoints can be selected according to the location of paralysis. For the upper limbs, cervical Jiaji points, Jianzhen, Dazhui, Shousanli, Shaohai, Neiguan, Hegu, Houxi, 2 to 3 points are selected each time. For the lower limbs, 1 inch away from the waist spine is often selected, including Huantiao, Zhibian, Tiaotiao, Yushu, Biguan, Yinlian, Siqiang, Futu, Chengfu, Yinmen, Jizhong, Yanglingquan, Zusanli, Jiexi, Taixi, Juegu, Fengshi, Chengshan, Luodi, etc. According to the main muscle groups involved in the paralyzed limbs, select There are 3 to 4 key acupoints, which can be changed and rotated each time, once a day, 10 to 15 times as a course of treatment, and 3 to 5 days between two courses of treatment. Use strong stimulation at the beginning of treatment to achieve therapeutic effects, then change to medium stimulation, and use weak stimulation to consolidate the therapeutic effects. Electroacupuncture or water injection can be used, and select 1 to 2 acupoints each time to inject vitamin B1 gamma-aminobutyric acid or angelica liquid (angelica, safflower, Chuanxiong preparation) for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, 0.5 to 1.0 ml for each acupoint.

2. Massage Therapy

Roll the paralyzed limb back and forth for 8 to 10 minutes, massage and 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 this once a day or every other day. You can teach your family members to do it at home.

3. Functional Exercise

For severely 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 assisted to make passive movements such as extension, flexion, abduction, and adduction. When the limbs can move but the muscle strength is still poor, the patients are encouraged to make automatic movements and undergo physical therapy, using physical therapy tools to exercise muscle strength and correct deformities.

4. Physical therapy

Hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, wax therapy, phototherapy, etc. can be used to relax diseased muscles, increase local blood flow and absorb inflammation.
