Types of Paralysis, Causes, Symptoms, and Homeopathy

Treatment for Paralysis

Paralysis affects one person every minute in India. It is the inability of the body’s voluntary
muscles to work. The body’s voluntary muscles cannot work. Whether you’re a medical
professional or someone simply interested in the condition, knowing the causes, symptoms,
and treatments of paralysis can be of help to you. This article tells you all about paralysis
and its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

What is Paralysis?
Paralysis occurs when the muscles in the nervous system become weak and cannot
function. It can be temporary or permanent known as partial and complete paralysis.

● The cause of paralysis can vary, but it may be due to stroke, spinal cord injury, brain
damage, or other medical condition.
● The symptoms of paralysis vary depending on the area of the body affected and the
extent of paralysis. Common symptoms of paralysis include weakness of the legs,
inability to move the limbs freely, loss of muscle control, difficulty breathing, sudden
numbness and tingling, and paralysis of the facial muscles.

You can treat paralysis by medical treatments, physiotherapy, and homeopathic medicines.
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses substances that cause similar
symptoms to relieve physical and emotional ailments by addressing the cause of illness.
These treatments can help overall mobility.

How Does Someone Become Paralyzed?

● In general, paralysis is the inability of the body’s muscles to function. It can be
temporary or permanent. Paralysis occurs due to a problem in the nervous system to
send messages to the brain.
● Various reasons can cause someone to become paralyzed, including injury in the
spinal cord or a broken neck and diseases. In most cases, the paralysis lasts for a few
minutes to several days. However, in some cases, the cause remains undetermined if
the condition lasts for months or years.
● Causes of paralysis vary depending on the part of the body that is affected. For
instance, paralysis of the limbs (paralysis of the legs and arms) causes weakness and
inability to move the arms or legs. Paralysis of the face (stokes paralysis) causes
paralysis of the muscles used in breathing.
● Some people are born with congenital abnormalities that cause paralysis, such as
spina bifida. A traumatic injury or medical condition is more likely to impair muscle
and nerve function. Nerve diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also cause
paralysis.
 ● The top causes of paralysis are strokes and spinal cord injuries. Autoimmune
diseases like Guillain-Barré syndrome, and brain diseases like cerebral palsy cause
paralysis.

What are the types of paralysis?

However, there are four major types of paralysis based on the part of the body that is
afflicted.
● Monoplegia: Monoplegia is defined by paralysis of a single part of the body, most
commonly one limb. People who have monoplegia have control over the rest of their
bodies but are unable to move or experience sensations in the affected limb.
Monoplegia is a common transitory condition following a stroke or brain injury. If the
nerves affecting the paralyzed area are not severed, physical therapy can restore
significant function.
● Hemiplegia: Hemiplegia is a condition that affects both an arm and a leg on the same
side of the body. The degree of paralysis in hemiplegia varies from person to person
and may fluctuate over time. Hemiplegia frequently begins with pins and needles,
progresses to muscle weakness, and eventually leads to full paralysis.
● Paraplegia: Paraplegia is a paralysis that affects both legs, the hips, and other
processes such as sexuality and excretion. Though perceptions of paraplegia below
the waist maintain that paraplegics are unable to walk, move their legs, or feel
anything below the waist, the reality of paraplegia differs from person to person—
and, in some cases, from day to day.
● Quadriplegia: Paralysis below the neck causes quadriplegia, also known as
tetraplegia. Usually, it afflicts the torso and all four limbs. The degree of disability
and loss of function, however, can differ from person to person and even from
moment to moment.
● Locked-in Syndrome: In a condition known as "Locked-in Syndrome," the patient
cannot control any area of their body with their under-eye muscles. Locked-in
syndrome is primarily a consequence of brain damage, a stroke, or brain cancer. A
person suffering from locked-in syndrome won't be able to move any of his body's
limbs or his lips, jaw, or up and down or side-to-side movements in the neck.

What are the symptoms of paralysis?

Paralysis is the inability of a part of the body to move as desired. It can affect different parts
of the body, causing different symptoms. The basic symptom of paralysis is the inability to
move a portion of your body or to move at all. The affected area of your body may also be
rigid (spastic paralysis), floppy (flaccid paralysis), numb, unpleasant, or tingly. Additionally,
you may also experience memory loss and loss of muscle control.
Treatments
Although there is no known treatment for paralysis, there are numerous choices for mobility
and extensive care that could help persons with partial paralysis live better lives.
● Mobility: Patients with partial paralysis of the legs with strong upper bodies can go
short distances in manual wheelchairs, whereas those with weaker upper bodies can
use electric wheelchairs.
● Communication: Voice-command-based devices are useful for quadriplegic patients
to manage items such as light, temperature, TV, audio equipment, and
telephones/mobile phones.
● Physiotherapy: Patients with partial or total paralysis of the hands or legs have had
success with frequent physical treatment and exercise. Patients can regain sensation
and motor control in one of the two afflicted limbs with exercise.
● Medications: Depending on the condition's origin, brain and spinal cord operations
can aid in treating it by minimizing the swelling. The patient must stick to the
prescribed treatment regimen and medication schedule.
● Homeotherapy: Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine that uses natural
ingredients to treat symptoms of paralysis. The process involves treating paralysis
with highly diluted substances known as herbs and minerals. Homeopathic
treatment involves using multiple doses of these substances over a period of time
until the symptoms subside completely.
