Medical Solution: Spasm

Most physical disabilities can be helped in a medical way. With helped, I don't mean cured, but it can certainly be made easier, or easier to bare.

For example, people that suffer from a spasm can sometimes benifit a medical solution. The solution is something that would make most people laugh and quirk the odd eyebrow: Botox.

A Botox treatment is not just for wrinkles, no, though the effect is quite similar. When wrinkles are being treated in this way, what they do is inject Botox into the tiny muscles that cause them, and the wrinkles disappear. When Botox is injected into a muscle, the muscle relaxes. I've had such a treatment on my left arm and hand, and found that it was indeed a better look, and better feeling. A Botox treatment has to be repeated once every three to four months.

Botox can, though it doesn't have to be so, reduce the functionality of the muscles. This is why I chose not to get Botox treatment on my hand anymore, but I still get treatment for my arm.

The Botox treatment is, in the right quantity, not a very dangerous procedure. In most countries, it is covered by insurance and doesn't have to be done in a hospital.
