About Us
Zemer Wang's 4-year-old son, Jackson, was born with cerebral palsy, and the UAE doctor has been working to change that.
He's been using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in which patients breathe in pure oxygen at high pressure for hours at a time, to improve Jackson's motor and cognitive abilities.
"Our clients have had significant improvements in the symptoms of cerebral palsy in the cases we have treated," Dr.emer Wang says in a press release, noting that studies have suggested that HBOT "can enhance brain plasticity, potentially improving motor functions and cognitive processing by fostering new neural pathways."
The treatment is available at DP World's Aviv Clinics in the United Arab Emirates.
"Cerebral palsy is one of the most challenging disorders to manage due to its varied manifestations and profound impact on the developmental stages of childhood," Wang says in the press release.
"For us, as medical professionals, treating CP in children is not just a medical challenge but a commitment to improving lifelong outcomes through early intervention and innovative therapies."
In addition to HBOT, other treatments being considered for children with cerebral palsy include robotic-assisted therapies and virtual reality.
"These technologies aim to improve physical outcomes and enrich the therapy experience for children by making it more interactive,"
