Teleconference on treatment options for severe spasticity

Our friends at The National Spinal Cord Injury Association are having a teleconference on the treatment options for severe spasticity:
You may have severe spasticity, a condition that does not allow you to voluntarily relax your muscles. Spasticity makes movement, posture, and balance difficult. It can affect your ability to move one or more of your limbs, or to move one side of your body. Spasticity is often associated with multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, stroke, spinal cord injury, and brain injury.
While there is no cure for spasticity, there are treatments.
Join us for a Release Your Potential teleconference, a nationwide program designed to educate people about treatment options for severe spasticity. During this 90-minute program you’ll hear from a physician who specializes in spasticity management and an Ambassador (a person living with severe spasticity) who is receiving treatment to help manage severe spasticity.
