No: CP is a condition where permanent damage to nerves inside the brain has resulted in a disorder of movement & posture. Many times the stiffness can be helped with medication and mobility can sometimes be improved to a point with physical therapy.

Can Help: Chiropractic may help improve quality of life, function, and reduce symptoms. It might be wise to look to a Chiropractic Neurologist or Functional Neurologist, as well as into low force techniques such as instrument based adjusting.
