A member asked:
Please let me know if there is any surgical treatment for spasticity due to cervical myelopathy ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There are surgical: Options, such as tendon transfers. There are physicians at tgh that i know can do this. However, this will not correct the myelopathy, it will only ease the pain from the spasticity. It may not improve function as well. Have you tried Botox injections? They are very useful with spasticity of you have not tried yet.
