Neurotoxin therapy
Botulinum toxin injections offer a precise and effective treatment for movement disorders such as dystonia, spasticity, and hemifacial spasms. This therapy targets overactive muscles, providing relief by temporarily reducing muscle contractions and improving mobility.
Conditions we treat with neurotoxin therapy
Neurotoxin therapy (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, or Myobloc) can be used to treat several neurological conditions, including certain movement disorders and pain syndromes. We offer neurotoxin therapy for the following conditions:
Neurotoxin injections relax these muscles, reducing spasms and improving tic symptoms.
Injections of the salivary gland can help reduce saliva production and help with excessive drooling seen with some movement disorders.
Dystonia is a neurological disorder causing involuntary muscle contractions, leading to abnormal postures.
Hemifacial spasm
Neurotoxin injections block nerve signals and relax facial muscles, effectively treating hemifacial spasms.
Botulinum therapy can treat chronic migraine headaches that don't respond to oral medications.
This dystonia is caused by another condition, like Parkinson's disease or brain injury from trauma, leading to involuntary muscle spasms.
Spasticity causes stiff, painful limbs due to excessive muscle contractions. Neurotoxins can improve motion.
As with facial tics, neurotoxins can block the nerve signals that cause facial dyskinesia if the symptoms are mild to moderate.
Injections can cause the jaw muscles to relax, reducing or eliminating grinding and clenching behavior.
Tremors are most commonly noticed in the hands and arms. Neurotoxin therapy can be very effective in treating tremors.
