At Hope Abilitation Medical Center (Hope AMC), our mission is to help children live with more comfort, independence, and joy. For many children who are suffering from conditions like cerebral palsy, brain injury, or other neurological disorders, spasticity becomes a daily challenge. Stiff or tight muscles can make it difficult for children to move freely, limiting independence and placing extra strain on both the child and the family.
To support the families in a better way, we are proudly announcing that Botox injections, Phenol injections, and Baclofen Pump treatments are now available at Hope AMC in Dubai. These advanced treatment options give children new opportunities to move with greater ease and participate more fully in life.
Understanding Spasticity in Children
Spasticity happens when the brain or spinal cord sends abnormal signals to the muscles, causing them to contract too much. The outcome is stiffness, pain, and difficulty with simple everyday activities like walking, dressing, or even using braces.
Managing spasticity effectively can make a big difference. It not only improves a child’s comfort but also helps them gain more from physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and other rehabilitation programs.
How These Treatments Help
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to stay tight. With this treatment, children often:
- Gain a better range of motion
- Find stretching and therapy sessions easier
- Tolerate braces and orthotics with less discomfort
- Improve coordination and walking patterns
Phenol Injections
Phenol injections target overactive nerves and can provide longer-lasting relief, especially for children dealing with more severe muscle tightness. The benefits include:
- Greater reduction in stiffness
- Improved posture and positioning
- Better comfort for daily activities and caregiving
Baclofen Pump
For children whose spasticity affects the whole body, a Baclofen Pump may be the best option. This small device delivers medication directly into the spinal fluid. This means smaller doses and fewer side effects than oral medicine. Families often see:
- Significant reduction in overall spasticity
- Easier movement and improved comfort
- Better participation in therapy and daily activities
Why Families Choose Hope AMC
At Hope AMC, we know that every child is unique. That is why our pediatric specialists work together to create treatment plans that are carefully tailored to each child’s needs. By combining medical treatments such as Botox, Phenol, and Baclofen Pump with intensive physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, we aim to bring out the very best in every child.
