Spasticity Treatment

Spasticity is a condition often experienced by individuals with neurological disorders, such as after a brain injury, which results in muscle stiffness and involuntary muscle contractions. At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we offer an innovative, non-invasive treatment using SoftWave therapy to alleviate the discomfort and mobility limitations associated with spasticity. This treatment focuses on reducing muscle tightness and improving the quality of life for those affected by this challenging condition.


Understanding Spasticity

Spasticity is characterized by an abnormal increase in muscle tone or stiffness, which can interfere with movement, speech, and gait. It is commonly seen in individuals with conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord, including cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and after a stroke or brain injury. If left unmanaged, spasticity can lead to severe complications like contractures or fixed deformities.


SoftWave Therapy: A Targeted Approach to Muscle Relaxation

SoftWave therapy utilizes acoustic waves to stimulate the body's natural healing and regenerative processes. This therapy is particularly effective for spasticity as it directly targets the affected muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing involuntary contractions. By increasing blood flow and decreasing muscle tone, SoftWave therapy offers a promising solution for managing symptoms of spasticity.


Our Treatment Protocol for Spasticity

  • Direct Application to Affected Muscles: SoftWave therapy is applied directly to the muscles identified by the patient as being affected by spasticity. This targeted approach ensures that the therapy is focused on the areas that require treatment, maximizing effectiveness.

  • Adjustable Treatment Intensity: Based on the patient's reaction to the treatment, we adjust the energy levels and number of shocks to provide the most comfortable and effective treatment experience. While our standard protocol ranges between 8-12 energy levels, adjustments are made to accommodate patient sensitivity and response.

  • Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment: Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted according to the patient’s progress and feedback. This personalized approach helps in managing spasticity more effectively and prevents the progression of complications like contractures.


Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for Spasticity

  • Muscle Relaxation: SoftWave therapy effectively reduces muscle stiffness and involuntary contractions, enhancing mobility and reducing pain.

  • Prevention of Complications: By managing spasticity effectively, SoftWave therapy helps prevent the development of contractures and deformities, improving long-term outcomes.

  • Non-Invasive and Safe: As a non-surgical treatment option, SoftWave therapy eliminates the risks associated with invasive procedures and requires no recovery time.

  • Improved Quality of Life: Patients often experience significant improvements in daily activities and overall well-being due to reduced spasticity and enhanced muscle function.


Treatment Schedule

  • Frequency of Treatment: Typically, treatments are scheduled twice a week for the first two weeks to initiate a strong therapeutic response. Following this intensive phase, treatments may be adjusted to once a week based on the patient’s progress and specific needs.
