Spasticity management

Spasticity Management

  • Injury to the brain or spinal cord can lead to muscle tightness and stiffness, resulting in pain, joint deformities, and functional impairments to daily activities like dressing and bathing.
  • There are various approaches to managing spasticity, including exercise, targeted therapy, splinting and orthotics, as well as medications and injections.
  • At Northern Rivers NeuroRehab, we specialize in treating spasticity with ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections.
  • We will evaluate your specific condition and work with you to develop the most effective treatment plan to achieve best results.
Sialorrhea management

Sialorrhea Management

  • Sialorrhea (also known as hypersalivation) is a condition characterized by excessive saliva either due to increased saliva production or decreased salivary clearance. It can result in drooling and dribbling, and difficulty managing saliva in the mouth.
  • Sialorrhea can have many causes, but it's most commonly a result of neurological conditions which impair the muscles used for swallowing (such as Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
  • Treatment of sialorrhea depends on the underlying cause, severity, and impact on quality of life. Management can include speech and swallow therapy, medication, botulinum toxin injections, radiotherapy, and surgery.
