Introduction
BOTOX® is not just effective for reducing wrinkles; it also has a variety of medical applications. It is commonly used to treat painful muscle spasms and contractions in the neck (cervical dystonia), as well as tension headaches, migraine headaches, back pain, and myofascial pain. By blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle hyperactivity, BOTOX injections provide relief. In many instances, the benefits of BOTOX can be more pronounced and longer lasting compared to traditional steroid injections.
Treatment
BOTOX injections for pain relief can be administered in your doctor's office as an outpatient procedure. Each treatment typically lasts around three months, and if successful, the injections can be repeated as needed.
