Spasticity is highly individualized. Affected muscles and their involvement vary significantly between patients. Therefore, personalized treatment planning is crucial. Treatment is indicated when spasticity causes pain, interferes with activities of daily living, or disrupts sleep. The treatment process is tailored to the individual's needs, preferences, and goals. Treating spasticity is important for improving comfort, mobility, and independence. Untreated spasticity can lead to pain, permanent joint deformities, urinary tract infections, chronic constipation, and pressure sores.

Treatment aims to relax muscles as much as possible, relieve pain and stiffness, promote optimal muscle growth in children, and improve ambulation and independence. A multidisciplinary team—including doctors, nurses, physician assistants, therapists, and pediatric specialists—collaborates to determine the most appropriate treatment combination.

Physical therapy and rehabilitation help maximize the child's muscle flexibility, range of motion, coordination, and strength. Regular and correctly performed exercise programs generally alleviate symptoms. A spasticity treatment program may include temporary splints or braces, therapeutic hot and cold applications, electrical stimulation, and biofeedback. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are essential for developing the child's ability to perform daily tasks to maximize independent living.

Pharmacological treatment may involve medications used individually or in combination. The specialist physician programs a treatment method that is optimal for the patient while minimizing side effects. Depending on the patient's condition, surgical interventions are also among the preferred methods in spasticity treatment. In surgical approaches, casting and splinting are used to prepare the spastic muscles for surgical stabilization.
