Spasticity and MS
Speaker: Ileana Howard, MD
Spasticity is a common symptom affecting many people with neurological diseases, including those with MS. Although the stiffness associated with spasticity can sometimes be helpful when performing daily activities such as getting in and out of a wheelchair or walking, spasticity can also be a nuisance and even lead to serious health concerns. The good news is that there are a growing number of treatments available to help ease the burden of troublesome spasticity. Join Dr. Ileana Howard to learn more about spasticity and MS.
