Prevention of Cerebral Palsy
Throughout Seattle and other areas of Washington our cerebral palsy attorneys have witnessed the devastating effects of this debilitating condition. Although ongoing medical research seeks to identify all potential causes of cerebral palsy and improve preventive measures, there are already known ways of reducing the risk. Some current prevention methods are:
- Rh testing and immunization
- Early detection and treatment of bacterial infection
- Cessation of drug, tobacco, and alcohol use during pregnancy
