Botox Injections
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections are a well-established, effective neurological treatment for a range of movement disorders and pain conditions. Administered by our experienced neurologist, Botox works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to overactive muscles, providing significant relief from involuntary movements, spasticity, chronic pain, and excessive sweating.
What are Botox Injections?
Botulinum toxin is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in precise therapeutic doses into specific muscles, it temporarily reduces abnormal muscle overactivity. The effects typically last 3 to 4 months, after which repeat injections can be administered. In neurology, Botox is a first-line treatment for many focal movement disorders.
Neurological Conditions Treated with Botox
Cervical Dystonia (Spasmodic Torticollis)
Involuntary neck muscle contractions causing head turning or tilting — the most common indication for therapeutic Botox in neurology.
Blepharospasm
Uncontrolled, forceful eye closure due to involuntary orbicularis oculi muscle spasm.
Hemifacial Spasm
Involuntary twitching or spasms of the muscles on one side of the face.
Spasticity
Muscle stiffness and overactivity following stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injury.
Chronic Migraine
Botox is an approved preventive treatment for chronic migraine (15 or more headache days per month).
Writer's Cramp & Focal Hand Dystonia
Task-specific dystonia affecting fine motor control of the hand.
Oromandibular Dystonia
Involuntary jaw, tongue, or lower face movements.
Hyperhidrosis
Excessive sweating of the palms, underarms, or soles.
