Botulinum toxin can be used therapeutically to relax overactive muscles and reduce pain as a result. This approach can address conditions such as chronic migraine and temporomandibulr joint (TMJ) dysfunction. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, prevent flare ups and improve daily functioning.

TMJ / Masseter Botox: Botulinum toxin can be used to relax the overactive masseter muscles responsible for teeth grinding and jaw clenching resulting in subsequent TMJ discomfort. This therapeutic approach can reduce muscle tension and reduce pain patterns.

Chronic Migraine: Botulinum toxin is an evidence based treatment approach for chronic migraine. It works by interrupting pain signaling and reducing muscle tension in specific trigger sites around the head, neck, and face. This can help to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks and improve daily functioning and quality of life.
