BOTOX® for migraines, dystonia and spasticity
While BOTOX® is more commonly known and used for aesthetic purposes, BOTOX injections are now used to treat and ease the symptoms of other health conditions, including migraines. When injected around pain fibers, Botox enters the nerve endings and blocks the release of chemicals involved in pain transmission.
Botox has been FDA-approved to treat chronic migraine in adults for over a decade, with 1,750 treatments given every day, and is the number one branded treatment for migraine.
- There is no recovery time
- Follow up same day as injections
- On average patients experience 8-9 fewer days impaired by headache
- Botox is given every 12 weeks (84 days)
All Botox treatments require insurance pre-approval. Our billing staff will contact your insurance to ensure this treatment is approved prior to the first injection.
