Can Botox improve/correct spasticity/dystonia of leg and arm?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Though the majority of Botox is used for aesthetic purposes it does have a number of medicinal benefits including treatment of spasticity and dystonia of the upper and lower extremities.  Seek out an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon or hand surgeon for treatment.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question. Yes, injection of Botox into muscles which spasm can alleviate the condition. See a neurologist for this treatment.  Good luck,

Thank you for your question. Botox works by blocking signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle then can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften. It is used cosmetically to treat the forehead, between the brows and crow’s feet. It can be used medically for the treatment of spasticity and dystonia of the upper and lower extremities. I recommend consulting a neurologist for recommendations.

Botox is very effective for spasticity of any  muscles. Be sure you see a board certified neurologist or neurosurgeon for treatment

Yes, Botox can be used successfully for spasticity ( increased muscle tone) of the leg and arm. Botox exerts its effect by relaxing the targeted muscles. For cosmetic applications, this means that muscles of facial expression are relaxed so that the wrinkles caused by them are improved. For medical problems caused by increased muscle tone including spasticity of the legs or arms, the neck, or even the urinary bladder, Botox relaxes the muscles involved providing an improvement of symptoms and function. In dealing with spasticity of the arms or legs, I recommend consulting a neurologist. 

Thank you for
your question stephbotox. Botox is
a purified protein used to address wrinkles associated with facial expression. Botox can also be used for neurological purposes off the face. Please consult with
a neurologist for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Hi here, Thanks for your question. The answer is yes in fact in paediatric handbook surgery in particular for cerebral palsy where patients often suffer from spasticity botulinum toxin is commonly used to relieve the symptoms and helps stretch out the tendons. Hope this helps

Yes, they are used quite frequently for this indication.  You will need to call around your area or check with your insurance to find who can do these treatments for you.  I would start with a neurologist.  Plastic surgeons most commonly treat the face with neuromodulators (botox, xeomin, dysport).  Best regards.
