Spastic Paralysis treatment in Monterrey

Spastic paralysis is a movement disorder in which the muscles are stiff and excessively tense, making it hard to voluntarily control the limbs. It is part of conditions that affect the nervous system and its control over muscle tone.

How it presents: Tense or contracted muscles, limited or clumsy movements, difficulty walking and, at times, abnormal postures.

Common causes: It can result from injuries to the brain or spinal cord, whether of perinatal origin, as in cerebral palsy, or acquired later on.

Which specialist treats it? Management is a team effort: the physical therapist works on mobility and function, while the pediatrician follows pediatric cases and the general practitioner coordinates care. A professional evaluation helps guide rehabilitation in a personalized way, so it is worth consulting when there are movement limitations.
