Spasticity and Intrathecal Baclofen Pump Clinic

Expert Pediatric Care for Spasticity Management

The experienced spasticity management team at Arkansas Children’s provides the most advanced diagnostic tools and interventional therapies to improve the quality of life for our young patients with spasticity issues. As a dedicated children’s hospital, we bring together highly respected pediatric specialists and advanced care facilities and collaborate extensively with therapists and child life staff. We expertly diagnose and treat spasticity and the related health conditions that challenge children and their families today.

Complex Care Clinic Follows Children Long-Term

Arkansas Children’s is committed to caring for patients and families for short-term issues, but more importantly, for long-term care and disease management. Our Complex Care Clinic is designed to help children diagnosed with multiple complex conditions, including cerebral palsy, that may cause spasticity.

Led by a fellowship-trained pediatrician with experience in complex care, our Complex Care Clinic team addresses each child’s acute needs and follows them over time. As new techniques are established and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), we make them available to our patients so families can count on the most current therapies from our team at Arkansas Children’s.

Possible Treatments

The Spasticity and Intrathecal Baclofen Pump Clinic uses a team approach to diagnose, evaluate, and manage patients with hypertonia and cerebral palsy, including evaluation for treating spasticity. The clinic also provides ongoing management of intrathecal baclofen pump patients.
