First we need to know why he has weakness in legs. Once we have a diagnosis then the correct treatment canbe given.
Stem cell therapy has very limited use in only very few conditions. It is still in a research stage.
Please see an General Physician first and then an Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon for a diagnosis.
