Spasticity is a form of muscle overactivity that occurs when communication between your brain and spinal cord is disrupted by a spinal cord injury, other injury or illness. Spasticity has some benefits, such as helping tone muscles. However, spasticity may cause pain, fatigue and other problems. Also, spasticity can become a barrier to your daily activities, walking, sitting, positioning and sleep
Treatment
Pain Clinic Of India’s spinal cord injury rehabilitation team offers several spasticity treatment options, including:
Exercises: You may participate in stretching, positioning and exercise activities taught by physical and occupational therapists.
Oral medications: Your doctor may prescribe medications given by mouth (orally) that may help reduce your muscle spasticity.
Intrathecal therapy: You may have medications administered 24 hours a day into the fluid surrounding your spinal cord through an implantable pump and catheter system. Doctors and staff perform a test dose to determine the effect and benefits of this therapy for each person.
Injections: Special drugs and injections into affected muscles may decrease the muscle signals that cause spasticity. The injections provide temporary relief, allowing you to move and strengthen your muscles. You may have injections every three months. Phenol or alcohol injections into your peripheral nerve near the spastic muscles may reduce your muscle spasms.
Neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery procedures: Surgical procedures to destroy (ablate) motor nerves of sensory spinal roots may stop the spasticity.
Spasticity treatment in Mumbai at Pain Clinic of India focuses on improving mobility and quality of life for patients with neurological conditions. Spasticity — the involuntary tightening of muscles — affects millions of people with conditions like stroke, brain injury, and cerebral palsy.
What is Spasticity?
Spasticity is a condition of increased muscle tone caused by damage to the brain or spinal cord. It results in stiff, tight muscles that are difficult to move, painful spasms, and fixed postures that can interfere with movement, daily activities, and rehabilitation.
