Muscle Spasticity

---

 Muscle Spasticity is a condition suffered by over 12 million people worldwide. Characterized by muscle spasm, stiffness, and involuntary contractions, spasticity can be extremely painful.  Muscle spasticity is often found in those suffering with a history of stroke recovery, chronic neck and back pain, arthritis and nerve pain, spinal cord injury recovery, and traumatic brain injury. Severe conditions that can also benefit from spasticity injections include Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy and ALS to name a few. Historically, treatment would include physical therapy, exercise programs and even surgery.  

Current advances such as those administered by Nat’l Medical Rehabilitation can help relieve spasticity symptoms, resulting in less stiffness, increased range of motion, and improved overall function.  The injections are given in-office and the effects can last for several months. Treatments are usually repeated every three months.
