A comprehensive Spasticity Clinic addresses issues related to abnormal muscle tone from brain or spinal cord disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, cerebral palsy and brain and spinal cord injuries. Patients with spasticity often have pain, limited movement and muscle contractures. Fortunately, many of these conditions are treatable. The clinic uses the latest technology in the evaluation and treatment of abnormal muscle tone. Available treatments include medication management, splinting, physical and occupational therapy, motor point blocks, botulinum toxin injections and intrathecal baclofen pump. Referral to top Johns Hopkins neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons, when needed, is also available.
