There is no "cure" for Spina Bifida. Spina Bifida is a birth defect which has permanent effects on a person's life. It can be treated, but not cured. The treatment may consist of surgeries to correct the alignment of the legs, hips, and back, as well as antibiotics for infections, help with bladder and bowel control issues, leg braces and crutches/walker or a wheelchair as necessary, special help in schooling if needed, and a shunt, which is a tube that drains cerebrospinal fluid out of the brain if the individual has hydrocephalus ("water on the brain").
