I have drop foot and claw foot. Would Botox work on my foot?

Question

Thank you for your question. Botox may be able to help you depending on where and how you have been effected. Speak with an expert injector to discuss your concern. Best,

This is difficult to answer unless we know what the cause of your foot drop is.  If the problem is spasticity of the muscle, then Botox may be indicated.  If this is an atrophic muscle and nerve process, then Botox would not be of assistance.
