Spasticity Center

Our Spasticity Center at Synovation Medical Group comprises a team of specialists who work together synergistically to offer patients freedom from pain and long-lasting relief. Spasticity — the tightness or stiffness of muscles — can occur when damage to the brain or spinal cord prevents certain nerve signals from reaching areas of the spinal cord that release GABA, which is believed to help muscles to relax. An effective method for relieving spasticity is through injections with botulinum toxin, which allow tight muscles to relax and improve range of motion.
