What is Spasticity?

Spasticity is a condition where muscles become stiff, tight, or overactive, leading to difficulty in movement. It often results from neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), or spinal cord injury. Spasticity can impair daily activities, cause pain, and hinder mobility.

How We Help With Spasticity

We offer non-surgical, evidence-based treatments designed to reduce muscle stiffness and improve your ability to move freely. Our approach includes:

  • Botulinum Toxin Injections (Botox®): Targets overactive muscles to relax them and improve range of motion.
  • Oral Medications: Muscle relaxants and other prescriptions to control spasms and reduce tightness.
  • Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation: Personalized exercises and treatments to strengthen muscles and improve flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Botox® injections are highly effective in reducing muscle stiffness and improving mobility for many people with spasticity. Results typically last 3–6 months, with follow-up treatments recommended.

Side effects are rare but may include mild swelling, bruising, or temporary weakness in the treated muscle. These side effects usually subside within a few days.

ITB delivers Baclofen directly to the spinal cord through a pump, providing targeted relief for severe spasticity. It's ideal for people who don't respond well to oral medications or Botox®.

Yes! Physical therapy is an important part of managing spasticity, helping to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. It is often combined with Botox® or medications for better results.

Botox® injections take about 15–30 minutes, with results visible within 1–2 weeks. ITB therapy requires a pump insertion and ongoing adjustments, but it offers long-lasting relief. Regular follow-up sessions ensure optimal results.
