BOTOX

 

Botox ®, also known as Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum, the same bacteria that causes botulism food poisoning. When injected into muscle in tiny amounts, botulinum A (Botox) can stop or reduce muscle spasm by blocking nerve signals to the muscle. This treatment has been used since the early 1990s to relieve severe muscle spasms around the eyes and in the neck, arms, legs, hands, and feet. Some people with cerebral palsy have gained significant relief from severe muscle contraction with botulinum toxin injections.

 

Botox injections are generally used for people who are experiencing:

Headaches

Myofascial Pain

Fibromyalgia

chronic low back pain.

Treated spasticity in stroke
