Spasticity & Muscle Stiffness

💪🧠 Spasticity & Muscle Stiffness

Tight, Stiff, or Painful Muscles? Difficulty Moving? We Can Help.

 

Spasticity is more than “tight muscles.”
It’s a neurological condition where the muscles become stiff, rigid, painful, or uncontrollable, often after a stroke, brain injury, spinal cord issue, MS, or other nerve-related problems.

This stiffness can make walking, using your arms, getting dressed, sleeping, or even sitting comfortably very difficult.

 

At Consultant Corner, we help patients regain comfort, mobility, and independence.

⚠️ Signs of Spasticity You Shouldn’t Ignore

🟣 Tight, rigid, or “locked” muscles

🔵 Painful spasms or muscle cramps

🟢 Difficulty bending or straightening a limb

🟠 Walking stiffness or dragging a leg

🟡 Arm stiffness after stroke or injury

🔺 Joints feeling “frozen” or difficult to move

 

If these happen after a stroke, MS, spinal cord injury, or brain injury — early treatment can dramatically improve recovery.

 

👉 Don’t wait for stiffness to worsen — spasticity is treatable.

 

🔍 What Causes Spasticity?

Common neurological causes include:

  • Stroke
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Brain injury
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Neuropathy or nerve damage
  • Neurodegenerative disease

Spasticity rarely improves on its own — but improves significantly with correct treatment.
