Botox Treatment
At the mentioned of the word 'Botox' most people think of beauty treatment! Well yes thats true but there is another use of Botox and that's for the treatment of Spasticity for stroke survivors. Today I took Rock to meet with a doctor for the Botox Injection to certain muscle groups in her left hand. I did a post on Botox & Spasticity at Nurture Your Own and for more details you can read it all there.
It is now just past two years since her stroke but her left hand is showing very little improvement and her Physiotherapist recommended Botox Injection to relax the muscles which usually lasts for about three months. During this period it will be focused strength building type of exercises for Rock so that her muscles can gain strength to fight against the contraction and hence regain mobility. However it was not done today for the doctor needed to access her condition and it is now scheduled for the 21st December.
