Cerebral palsy, a neurological condition affecting movement and coordination, can profoundly impact a child's life. While there's no cure, tethering surgery offers a glimmer of hope for many children struggling with spasticity, a debilitating symptom characterized by muscle stiffness and involuntary movements. This minimally invasive procedure, involving the lengthening of a tight Achilles tendon, can dramatically improve mobility and quality of life. By releasing the tension in the calf muscles, Tethering Surgery for Scoliosis allows for increased range of motion in the ankles and feet, enabling children to walk more easily, participate in activities, and even avoid the need for cumbersome braces and wheelchairs. This newfound freedom allows them to participate more fully in school, play with friends, and engage in everyday activities that contribute to their overall well-being.
