Botox for Migraines and Dystonia is a treatment that uses small injections of botulinum toxin to help manage chronic migraines and certain muscle disorders.
For Chronic Migraines
If you experience frequent migraines—15 or more days a month—Botox may help. During the treatment, your doctor will inject Botox into specific areas around your head and neck. This helps block the pain signals, reducing the number of migraines you have and making them less severe when they do occur. Many patients notice improvements within a few weeks, and the effects can last for about three months.
For Dystonia
Dystonia is a condition that causes involuntary muscle contractions, leading to twisting or abnormal movements. Botox can help by relaxing the overactive muscles. Your doctor will inject Botox into the affected muscles, which can reduce these unwanted movements and improve your comfort. Like with migraines, the effects typically last about three to four months before you may need more injections.
Both treatments are quick and can significantly improve your quality of life, helping you manage pain or discomfort effectively.
