Botox is a revolutionary treatment that works for much more than treating wrinkles. Therapeutic Botox injections can directly address many medical conditions. Youthful Infusions Med Spa provides Therapeutic Botox for effective pain solutions. We’ll explain how Therapeutic Botox can help you with everything from treating stress in muscle fibers to reducing sweating.
How Does Botox Work?
Botox includes a toxin called onobotulinumtoxinA, which is produced by a microbe that causes botulism. It may sound scary, but it really just prevents your muscle from moving. It is administered in small doses to block nerves that tell your muscles to contract.
Cosmetic Botox vs. Therapeutic Botox
Cosmetic Botox is famous for addressing fine lines and wrinkles. It helps smoothe the areas on your face by relaxing the muscles that generally contract to form wrinkles. Therapeutic Botox can help relieve medical conditions. It helps reduce nerve and muscle activity in the injected areas to reduce symptoms caused by your medical problems.
Chronic Migraines
We can inject Botox into the neck and head muscles to help treat chronic migraines. It works by blocking chemicals that send pain signals to your brain. The pain signals cannot reach your nerve endings, helping to eliminate your pain. Many of our patients have seen a significant improvement in their migraines.
Hyperhidrosis
Excessive Sweating can have a negative impact on your life. We inject Botox into your sweat glands to help block signals for sweat. We often use Botox in these areas, including hands, feet, and underarms.
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
The temporomandibular joint is sometimes plagued by constant pain caused by injury or tension. We inject Botox into these areas for relief. If you suffer from jaw tension and headaches, Botox helps weaken the muscles and reduce this pain.
Muscle Spasms
Botox injections are an excellent way to treat cervical dystonia or other spasm issues. The injections block chemical signals from the nerves to help control stiffness. Most of our patients report an improved range of motion, improved gait patterns, and a reduction of spasticity.
Bruxism
Millions of people grind their teeth, creating tension and headaches. We inject small doses of Botox into the large masseter muscle that moves the jaw. The jaw muscle weakens to help stop grinding your teeth.
