Overview

There are many different ways to treat birth injuries from physical therapy to speech therapy to psychotherapy to surgery. Preventative measures have become increasingly more accessible in recent years and should never be overlooked. Expectant mothers should be tested regularly for the Rh factor and immunized if needed. Some of the may other preventive measures that can be taken are:

• limiting exposure of pregnant mothers to infections
• preventing premature birth
• recognizing and treating bacterial infection early during pregnancy
• controlling nutritional deficiencies like diabetes and anemia
• avoiding medications that aren't necessary to prenatal health
• light therapy for babies with jaundice

The amount of post-delivery treatment necessary for a birth injury will depend on the severity of the injury. The infant should be examined right after birth and followed by a physician or medical team who is experienced in treating similar injuries. This should take place at the time of injury regardless of how much function the baby exhibits. In many facilities a team of experts will examine the infant at normal intervals to ensure that all aspects of the injury are addressed. If an infant has been diagnosed with a birth injury it is critically important to begin treatment as soon as possible.
