Many options: Are available. It will depend on the severity, and goals of spasticity management.May not want to remove all spasm as it can be beneficial in several ways.There are systemic medications, local medications like Botox as well as implantable systems. However the first step in any spasticity management program is a medically appropriate stretching plan.See a sci physician and discuss the options.
