If your child is experiencing problems with significant muscle tone and tightness, we know how concerned you must be. At the Advanced Tone Management (ATM) Multidisciplinary Clinic, our experts take a team approach to provide the answers and treatment options you and your child need. We see children with difficult-to-manage tightness of muscle tone and reduced capacity of the muscle to stretch. Some children have spasticity, which is when the muscles contract and stiffen. Some have dystonia, which is when muscles contract uncontrollably. Some have both. We assess all patients to see if surgical intervention can help relieve any pain and limited ability they are experiencing. We know these conditions are very challenging to cope with, and our entire team is here to help.
