Botox Now FDA Approved to Treat Upper Limb Spasticity

The FDA has recently approved Botox to treat upper limb spasticity in adults. Upper limb spasticity occurs when there is sever stiffness in the elbow muscles, as well as the fingers. Botox injections are capable of providing temporary relief of upper limb spasticity. Roughly 1.8 million Americans currently suffer from this disorder, and Botox could be a huge breakthrough treatment.

While many people know Botox as a cosmetic injectable designed to eliminate wrinkles and smooth signs of aging, Botox was actually first approved by the FDA in 1989 to treat eye spasms. Later, it gained its FDA approval for cosmetic purposes: wrinkles. Botox also serves to treat a variety of other medical and cosmetic conditions you may not know.

Botox is the #1 nonsurgical cosmetic treatment in America and has been for the last several years. Because of the growing trend, more medical professionals are seeking Botox training. Only medical professionals are capable of administering Botox injections, but only after they’ve been properly trained.
