If anyone can help me I am trying to find a doctor whom specializes in cerebal palsy with hemiparesis to see if there is a surgery that can be done to correct this problem. This was a perinatal injury. my daughter is 16 yrs old and we have been to many many doctors. Unfortunately I don't think our doctors our capable of this kind of problem I don't mean it with disrespect

There's no surgery or cure for cp as the damage to the nervous system is permanent. There is a possibilty of botox injections into individual muscles, but they only work for a dew months and can not be given to many muscles at the same time.
