BOTOX^® injections are widely popular to combat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; however, people are now using the injections to significantly reduce chronic pain. This minimally invasive treatment is a great option for people suffering from a wide range of ailments.

Taken from the botulinum toxin, BOTOX is a purified protein that helps relax overactive and painful muscles, and multiple studies have shown that BOTOX is a versatile, and effective treatment for chronic pain.

BOTOX injections typically contain a mixture of botulinum toxin and saline solution or local anesthetic. Between five and 10 injections in multiple areas may be used to successfully relax tense muscles. Our practitioners will use a thin needle to inject tiny amounts of botulinum toxin into the area in need of treatment.

The FDA approved the use of BOTOX over a decade ago, and our office continues to use this treatment as a powerful pain management tool.

BOTOX can be used to treat the following:

◦ Migraine headaches
◦ Spasticity
◦ Myofascial pain
◦ Back pain
◦ Neck pain
◦ Neuropathy
