Cerebral Palsy (CP) affects nearly 800,000 individuals in the U.S., making it the most common motor disability in childhood. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative and functional medicine approach to managing cerebral palsy. We look beyond conventional symptom control and explore ways to enhance brain function, reduce inflammation, support development, and improve quality of life.
Our team treats the whole person, not just the diagnosis—incorporating physical therapies, nutritional strategies, detoxification support, and neurological optimization, all personalized to your child’s unique needs.
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive neurological disorder caused by brain damage that affects movement, muscle tone, posture, and coordination. While it is usually diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, the effects can last a lifetime.
There are several types of CP:
Cerebral palsy presents differently depending on severity and type. Symptoms may include:
Early intervention is critical to optimizing developmental potential and improving long-term outcomes.
While cerebral palsy often stems from injury to the developing brain, functional medicine evaluates additional contributing factors that may influence symptom severity or progression:
Our goal is to identify and address these root imbalances to improve neurological outcomes.
At Patients Medical, we perform comprehensive evaluations to guide integrative treatment. This may include:
We create customized, anti-inflammatory meal plans that support brain development, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance mitochondrial function. This may include:
Nutrient IVs may benefit children with absorption challenges or mitochondrial dysfunction. Therapies may include:
Evidence-based supplements help modulate inflammation, protect neural tissue, and support neurotransmitter balance:
HBOT may enhance oxygen delivery to injured brain tissues and promote healing in children with CP. Studies show potential improvements in:
We coordinate with top therapists to reinforce neuroplasticity and improve motor function using:
Children with CP often have impaired detoxification. We offer safe, supervised protocols that support liver function and cellular repair:

While CP is a non-progressive condition, symptoms and functioning can often be improved significantly with integrative care.
No. We work alongside physical therapy, speech therapy, and mainstream medical care to optimize results holistically.
Yes. All therapies are age-appropriate and tailored to the child’s developmental stage and medical history.
A nutrient-rich, inflammation-reducing diet can enhance brain function, reduce spasticity, and improve digestive health.
HBOT is considered an off-label, supportive therapy, but many families report improved speech, mobility, and alertness.
If your child has CP and struggles with GI issues, immune dysfunction, or developmental plateaus, testing can uncover helpful insights.
Yes, in some cases. We test for methylation defects and other SNPs that affect neurodevelopment and detoxification.
We work with infants as young as 6 months and up, adjusting therapies to match developmental needs.
Our goal is not to replace necessary medications but to complement care and, when appropriate, reduce dependency under supervision.
We are an out-of-network provider but provide superbills for insurance reimbursement. Labs may be partially covered.
