Medical Director: Leland Albright, MD
Contact: Traci Bates, RN
In the Spasticity and Movement Disorders Clinic, children and young adults with neurological disorders causing abnormalities of muscle tone are evaluated by a multidisciplinary team led by Leland Albright, MD. Each patient is seen by skilled professionals representing neurosurgery, orthopedics, physiatry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nursing. An individualized and comprehensive plan of care is then developed by the team members, with input from families and patients. Treatments may include oral medications, botox injections, orthopedic operations or neurosurgical procedures, including intrathecal baclofen, deep brain stimulation or other procedures.
