Dear Patient
you need physical examination and assessment first to decide whether we can improve your condition. But generally there is no cure for polio but with the help of reconstructive surgeries we can improve your physical ability.

The possibility of treatment depends on the expansion of the disabillity and his current health status. ther are treatment available for minor disabilities. Physical evaluation by a Orthopaedician will clear the picture.
