How will a botox injection into the spastic muscle in my foot help me?
According to Wikipedia, botox is a drug prepared from the bacterial toxin botulin, used medically to treat certain muscular conditions and cosmetically to remove wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles.
"Botox as a muscle spasticity treatment is becoming more popular in the medical community. According to Botox Facts, it is used to decrease muscle spasticity in those persons whose muscles no longer relax when the central nervous system tells them to. It can help to relax muscles that remain contracted, in turn alleviating pain, stiffness and difficulty moving. Botox is most commonly used as a muscle spasticity treatment in patients who have had a stroke and those with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders that cause muscle spasticity."
