spasticity management

Spasticity management involves treating muscle stiffness or involuntary contractions often seen in conditions like cerebral palsy or after strokes. It aims to improve movement and reduce discomfort. Treatments can include physical therapy to improve mobility, medications that relax muscles, and sometimes injections to block nerve signals. In severe cases, surgery may be considered. A multidisciplinary approach—working with doctors, therapists, and caregivers—is essential for developing a personalized plan that enhances the individual’s quality of life and encourages independence in daily activities.
