Patients who have been suffering from chronic headaches and migraines may be surprised to learn that there is a solution with injectable medications such as Botox.

How can Botox serve as an effective treatment for chronic headaches and migraines?

Botox, or botulinum toxin type A, is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles when injected in small doses. This neurotoxin has been used for many years to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. However, it has also been found to be an effective treatment for those with chronic headaches and migraines.

When Botox is injected by our experienced team into the muscles in and around the forehead, temples, and scalp, it can help reduce muscle tension that contributes to headaches and migraines. This treatment is typically recommended for patients who have exhausted other options, such as oral medications and physical therapy.

What are the benefits of using Botox for chronic headaches and migraines?

Using Botox injections for chronic headaches and migraines has several advantages:

  • Long-lasting relief. First, it can provide long-lasting relief for patients suffering from these conditions for years. This is especially beneficial for those who experience frequent and debilitating headaches or migraines.
  • Non-invasive. Botox injections are non-invasive and do not require any downtime. This means patients can come in for treatment and resume their daily activities immediately afterward.
  • Less side effects. Botox injections have very few side effects, and they are typically mild and temporary. This makes it a safe option for our patients who may not tolerate other medications as well.

What can I expect during my Botox appointment to treat chronic migraines and headaches?

During your appointment, Drs. Ricardo Andrade and Denisse Montalvo thoroughly evaluate your medical history and symptoms to ensure that Botox is the proper treatment for you. This may also involve physical examination and possibly imaging tests. Once it has been determined that Botox is suitable, they administer several small injections into specific muscles in the head and neck region. Patients are given aftercare instructions to follow and can schedule a follow-up visit for further evaluation and reinjections as needed.
