About ITB Therapy

When you choose ITB Therapy^SM, you are joining thousands of others who depend on this technology to move and walk more easily, loosen overly tight muscles, and minimise spasticity-related pain. The key is a surgically implanted pump that continuously delivers medication to your spinal cord fluid.

What Is It?

ITB Therapy is a precise, targeted treatment proven to reduce severe spasticity caused by cerebral palsy. It uses an implanted drug pump that delivers your anti-spastic medication directly to where it is needed inside the spinal cord.

ITB Therapy is recommended to manage and control severe generalised spasticity that is poorly controlled by oral medications or limited because of unwanted side-effects and where other therapies have proven ineffective.
