Dr. Lv Zhiqin
Daily treatment methods for hypotonia mainly include the following aspects:
1. Daily care: Patients should ensure adequate rest and sleep, and avoid excessive fatigue. Maintaining a positive and optimistic mindset and avoiding significant emotional fluctuations can help alleviate symptoms of hypotonia.
2. Dietary regulation: Nutrition should be balanced, with special emphasis on protein-rich foods such as beef and eggs to enhance muscle strength. In addition, eating more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins and minerals can also help improve hypotonia.
3. Physical therapy: Treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation can promote local blood circulation and enhance muscle excitability, thereby increasing muscle tone. Physical therapy should be conducted under the guidance of trained professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
4. Exercise training: Appropriate physical exercise, such as jogging and swimming, can strengthen muscle strength and endurance and improve hypotonia. However, overexertion should be avoided to prevent worsening of symptoms.
5. Medication: Hypotonia caused by nerve damage or other reasons can be treated with neurotrophic medications, such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B12, under a doctor's supervision. However, medication should be taken under medical guidance to avoid self-medication.
