Although there are no cures for cerebral palsy. Stem cells have shown both benefits and high safety profile for those affected with CP by their ability to:
1. Repair and replace dead and damaged neurons.
2. They release growth factors that promote the recovery of damaged brain tissue
3. They can heal scarred brain tissue and re-establish broken synaptic connections
4. Stem cells have the ability to form new blood vessels, thus re-starting blood flow to hypoxic parts of the brain
5. They can improve the metabolic functions of neurons

It is clear from this description that stem cell therapy is different from any other conventional medical treatment. Instead of treating the symptoms, it aims to treating the cause of CP.

Today marks the start of cerebral palsy awareness month and I couldn’t be more proud of my cp warrior

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change and adapt due to experience. It is an umbrella term referring to the brain's ability to change, reorganize, or grow neural networks. This can involve functional changes due to brain damage or structural changes due to learning.
Plasticity refers to the brain's malleability or ability to change; it does not imply that the brain is plastic. Neuro refers to neurons, the nerve cells that are the building blocks of the brain and nervous system. Thus, neuroplasticity allows nerve cells to change or adjust.
Types of Neuroplasticity
The human brain is composed of approximately 100 billion neurons.1Early researchers believed that neurogenesis, or the creation of new neurons, stopped shortly after birth.

Today, it's understood that the brain's neuroplasticity allows it to reorganize pathways, create new connections, and, in some cases, even create new neurons.
There are two main types of neuroplasticity:
• Functional plasticity is the brain's ability to move functions from a damaged area of the brain to other undamaged areas.
• Structural plasticity is the brain's ability to actually change its physical structure as a result of learning.

I am not big on social media. But it makes my heart so happy for the families I work with and the relationships we build. Checking in on a family the other day and was told " # # is doing great. He is rolling from side to side now. He used to hate being on the floor and now he loves it and will roll to both sidese and sometimes on his tummy" Made my whole week.

Checking in a patient who recently visited. This is why I do this.
"He is doing great! He’s pulling himself up, cruising and climbing! We are excited for him to start walking."
