Having frequent migraines means you know all too well that they aren’t “just a headache.” They cause throbbing pain and light sensitivity that wreak havoc on your work and family life. Nausea and vision disturbances are also common, affecting your general well-being. If oral medications, lifestyle modifications and stress relief haven’t done enough to relieve your frequent migraines, you may find relief with botulinum toxin injectables. Understanding Chronic Migraines Migraines that occur 15 or more days per month are considered chronic migraines. Eight or more of those days must include migraine symptoms. Chronic migraines are often linked to a combination of neurological issues and muscular tension. This can include oversensitivity of nerves and chronic tightness of the muscles in the head, neck and shoulders. Muscle tightness is one cause of pain that many of our patients can relate to and can lead to the occurrence of migraines or make them worse. This is where botulinum toxin injectables can help. Treating Migraines with Botulinum Toxin Botulinum toxin prevents specific nerve signals from reaching targeted muscles, temporarily paralyzing them. Injected into key locations on the head and neck, botulinum toxin can: Relieve tension in overstimulated muscles Limit nerve activation that can cause migraine pain Help prevent migraines from

TMJ Disorders affect more than your jaw joint and chewing muscles. When your TMJ is compromised, chronic headaches, facial pain, neck stiffness and even earaches can occur.

Botulinum toxin is proving to be a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for TMJ pain and tension headaches. What Is TMJ Disorder? Temporomandibular joints attach your jaw to your skull. They allow you to chew food, talk and move your mouth freely without pain. When inflammation or hyperactivity affects these joints or the muscles around them (commonly caused by clenching/grinding aka bruxism, stress or misalignment) it can cause: Pain or tightness in the jaw Clicking/popping jaw sounds Limited movement of the jaw Pain/Soreness in the face, neck and shoulders Headaches or migraines from muscle tension Muscle tension is a primary source of these symptoms for most patients. Botulinum Toxins for TMJ Pain Botulinum toxin (trade names include Botox®) temporarily paralyzes or relaxes overly active muscles. Injection of Botulinum toxin into the masseter, temporalis or other muscles of the jaw decreases hyperactivity, which decreases the contraction/tension that lead to pain/headaches. Treatment can lead to: Less clenching/grinding of the jaw Fewer muscle headaches
