Hemiplegia treatment in Celaya

Hemiplegia is the loss of movement or paralysis that affects one side of the body, the arm, the leg, and sometimes the face on the same side. It is usually due to a disorder in the brain or the nervous system that controls those movements.

Frequent manifestations:

• Weakness or absence of movement on one side of the body
• Difficulty walking or holding objects
• Alterations of balance or posture

When to see a doctor? The sudden onset of weakness on one side of the body must be evaluated immediately, as it may be an emergency.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon study the causes, while the physical therapist supports the rehabilitation; in children the pediatric neurologist takes part. A professional and early approach favors the recovery of function.
