Botox Q&A
-
Botox is a form of botulinum toxin derived from a bacterium, but in purified, controlled, tiny doses injected into specific areas, it temporarily reduces muscle contractions.
Botox is an FDA-approved treatment method to reduce the pain of chronic migraines. Migraines are considered chronic if you experience 15 or more headache days each month. Chronic migraines are usually more frequent and feature more severe pain.
-
Botox prevents headaches and migraines before they start. The treatments take approximately 20 minutes, and you typically schedule repeated treatments every 12 weeks.
Dr. Renk uses a very fine needle to inject small amounts of Botox into the shallow muscles in your skin and around the pain fibers involved in your headaches. Each treatment entails approximately 31 injections in seven key areas of the head and neck for optimal pain relief.
Botox enters the nerve endings around the injection site and blocks the release of chemicals that play a role in pain transmission, effectively preventing the activation of pain networks in the brain.
These injections can also calm and prevent muscle spasms and relax muscle tension that could be contributing to migraines. Although highly successful, Botox isn’t a permanent solution. After several months, the nerves can sprout new pain fibers and headaches may return.
