Botox for Neurological Conditions

Botox, often used for cosmetic reasons, can also treat neurological conditions. The injectable drug addresses ailments like chronic migraines or spinal injuries. It is not a permanent solution, so treatment will be needed roughly every 3 months.

When treating chronic migraines, Botox blocks pain receptors from reaching the brain, thus mitigating the migraine's intensity. After sustaining a spinal cord injury, the muscles in the body become tight, limiting mobility. Botox helps to relax those muscles, therefore restoring movement. In the case of brain injuries or conditions like cerebral palsy, Botox can relax the muscles to avoid tightness or spasms. It can also prevent sudden movements in the neck as a result of dystonia. Finally, Botox can even prevent hypersalivation.

Botox is a trusted alternative to traditional methods. Our primary care providers are trained to determine the proper sight of injection and the right dosage of Botox for each patient. If you have found no success in traditional care, Botox might be the right answer for you.
