Botox Therapy for Chronic Pain
FDA-approved Botox injections that relax overactive muscles and interrupt pain signals for lasting headache and muscle pain relief.
What is Botox Therapy for Chronic Pain?
Botulinum toxin (Botox) is FDA-approved for the treatment of chronic migraines and is also used off-label for a range of chronic pain conditions involving muscle spasm and nerve sensitization. When injected into targeted muscles or trigger points, Botox temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction and pain, providing relief that can last three to four months.
What to Expect
- 1
Evaluation to identify the muscles and trigger points contributing to your pain
- 2
A series of small injections are administered in the office — no anesthesia required
- 3
Botox begins to take effect within one to two weeks
- 4
Relief typically lasts three to four months, after which treatment can be repeated
- 5
Many patients experience cumulative improvement with successive treatment cycles
Who This Treatment Helps
Patients with chronic migraines (15 or more headache days per month), cervical dystonia, myofascial pain syndrome, or other conditions involving persistent muscle spasm and pain who have not found adequate relief from oral medications.
