Stroke Rehabilitation If you
experienced a stroke and still suffer from muscle spasms, weakness, pain, or
disability, Dr. Taub may be able to
help. Even if you have already
completed a course of rehabilitation, the expert services of Dr. Taub may be
able to further the recovery you have already achieved. Myth: Stroke survivors reach maximum rehabilitation
potential after 6 months. It is widely believed, even among
the medical community, that people cannot progress their stroke recovery
after six months. Research over the past
few years has proven this belief untrue.
An examination and consultation with Dr. Taub may reveal treatment
options that can further your stroke recovery. Success with Botox for Stroke Survivors You may have heard of using Botox
to reduce wrinkles in the face. Recent
research has shown impressive results with using Botox (botulinum toxin A) to
improve the condition of stroke survivors.
Dr. Taub has also achieved good results with this treatment in his
private physiatry practice. Botox relaxes muscles. If you suffer from muscle spasms caused by
a previous stroke, those spasms interfere with motor control. Those spasms cause muscle weakness and
pain. By identifying and targeting the
problematic muscles with Botox, Dr. Taub can: u Reduce
muscle spasm u Reduce
pain u Increase
strength (including the strength of hand gripping) u Improve
motor control (making it easier to button a shirt or maintain balance while
standing) While benefits may
be achieved for people with a long-standing condition, results may be
more rapid and more dramatic when Botox treatments start closer to the time
of the stroke. Call the office of Dr.
Taub today to schedule an examination and consultation. |
