How Much for an Injection in Arm? I've Heard a Shot In the Arm Can Help a Quad's Hand Move?
Understand that botox shot into the arm made a quad's hand moveable enough to use it. How much for an injection in my quad son's elbow to help him move his hand? And, is this safe?
botox for spastic paralysis
Thanks for your question This is a complex question that you should consult a neurologist to get a qualified answer. Botox can be used to treat spastic paralysis by _increasing_ paralysis of overactive muscles. Botox will not work for flacid paralysis or work to reverse paralysis. In addition, if botox is appropriate, it would likely be covered by insurance. Hope this helps.
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Results typically appear within 3–7 days and last 3–4 months, though some patients report longer duration with consistent treatment. Common treatment areas include the glabella (frown lines), forehead, and lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet). Dosing is measured in units and varies by treatment area and muscle mass.
The American Board of Plastic Surgery maintains rigorous standards for certification that go well beyond state medical licensing requirements.
