Homeopathy treatment for Paralysis
Paralysis is defined as the complete loss of strength and functions of muscle group or a limb.
Classification
- Partial – Only some muscle groups do not work.
- Complete – the whole body is immobile.
- Temporary – The condition is either medically induced or affected by neurotoxins by biting of venomous snakes or the sting of jellyfish.
- Permanent –
Paralysis as an irreversible condition is usually caused especially by the damage of the nerve cells in the brain or spinal cord.
- Flaccid – In this condition, the muscles become flaccid also shrink.
- Spastic – In this condition, the muscles show erratic movements like jerking. These conditions are not totally inter-related; but, they can be used for understanding the severity of the condition.
Depending on the affected regions in the body, the condition can be categorized as follows i.e.:
- Monoplegia – Affecting only one limb;
- Hemiplegia – Affecting only one side of the body;
- Diplegia – Affecting the same area of both sides of the body like only both arms or both legs;
- Paraplegia – Affecting both legs,
- Quadriplegia – Sometimes also called tetraplegia, it affects both arms and legs, and, in some cases, the whole torso is affected, while the inner organs are unaffected.
Secondary Condition
-
Paralysis may lead to other medical conditions; if there is no proper assistance provided, and then a bed-ridden patient may develop bedsores which can even lead to severe infection in the body.
- Besides, due to complete loss of tactile sensation (sensation of the touch), the patient may not realize any skin or muscle-related problem like infection, itching, burning, etc. until it is too late.
- Some patients who are completely immobile for years also show signs like fragility and fracturing of the bones.
- Therefore, the secondary conditions are more life-threatening to the affected persons than paralysis itself.
