PARAPLEGIC LEG SPASMS (How to MANAGE And REDUCE MUSCLE SPASMS) Paralife Ep 38

Muscle spasms are a lesser known side effect of a spinal cord injury. In this video we talk about why paraplegics and quadriplegics get muscle spasms and discuss ways in which you can manage and reduce muscle / leg spasms. We talk about the pros and cons of using drugs (baclofen, baclofen pump, botox injections, cbd oil) to reduce spasms as well as non drug ways you can manage your spasms. Craig demonstrates a strecthcing routine he uses to reduce his spasms.

We (Craig and Claire) return home and attempt to go back to normal life 6 months after a cycling accident that left Craig paralysed from the chest down and reliant on a wheelchair. Join us as we learn what it's like to live with a spinal cord injury, discover the challenges wheelchair users have to face and overcome and search for wheelchair accessible hotspots. We want to show you how much paraplegics can still do and that there is life after paralysis!
