Dr. Ryskowski

Reaching Further: An Integrative Approach to Supporting Healthy Muscle Tone in Children with Neurological Conditions:

In this presentation, Dr. Ryskowski describes some of the most widely used interventions for managing spasticity and dystonia and highlights the gaps that exist within the current treatment approach. She explores the pathophysiology behind hypertonicity and contractures, then discusses how minimally invasive hyaluronidase injections can help to prevent and treat contractures, improve range of motion, and allow children to further their motor development. She also discusses how other naturopathic interventions such as topical creams, magnesium, amino acids, and botanical medicine can play a role in supporting children struggling with tone issues.
