Spina bifida - Prevention, surgery and rehabilitation

Learn more about the importance of folic acid before and during pregnancy to prevent spina bifida or neural tube defect (NTD), as well as the role that pediatric neurosurgery and pediatric physiotherapy play in improving the quality of life during childhood and adulthood.

We’re joined by specialists who explain how pediatric neurosurgery can address some of the complications associated with spina bifida, and how long-term rehabilitation, including physical therapy and assistive technologies, supports a child’s independence and development into adulthood.

This episode serves as a valuable guide for parents, caregivers, and anyone planning a pregnancy. With insights into prevention, treatment, and long-term care, it offers a deeper understanding of how early action and a multidisciplinary approach can make a lifelong difference.
Recovering from surgery can be a challenging and sometimes painful process, but with the right support, you can make the journey to wellness smoother and more comfortable. One essential tool that can aid in post-surgery recovery is the Axelrod Orthopedic Bed Wedge Pillow Set. Designed with both comfort and health in mind, this versatile wedge pillow set offers numerous benefits to those healing after general surgery.
