Precisely targeting specific areas of discomfort, this therapy involves injecting botulinum toxin (commonly known as Botox®) into aching muscles to relieve chronic pain. Particularly effective for muscle spasms, chronic migraines and certain types of neuropathic pain, botulinum toxin injections are a promising solution for those seeking lasting relief. Rest assured that our team of caring professionals is committed to ensuring your comfort and well-being throughout your treatment.

Does chronic pain prevent you from enjoying life’s simple pleasures?

Our clinic uses a diverse range of medications, products and modalities to effectively manage and treat your pain.

Botulinum toxin

These injections are primarily composed of botulinum toxin type A, derived from the bacterium clostridium botulinum. The toxin is purified and diluted to safely block nerve signals and temporarily relax muscles, relieving a variety of conditions.

Technique

Botox injections involve the use of a fine needle to precisely deliver botulinum toxin into targeted muscles or painful areas. In some cases, the injection technique requires ultrasound guidance for optimal efficacy.

Goals

The main aim of this treatment is to relax muscles and temporarily relieve tension and pain.

Success

The success of Botox® pain relief injections depends on individual response and the specific condition being treated.

What can I expect following Botox® injections?

Patients who receive Botox® injections can expect a reduction in muscle tension, and a reduction in the frequency and intensity of painful episodes. These injections can contribute to a better quality of life, with many patients experiencing a reduction in symptoms for several months, depending on the area treated and the dosage. Botox® injections are a promising solution for people seeking lasting relief from chronic pain.
