Treat Your Headaches With BOTOX
January 9, 2019
Many people do not realize they can get BOTOX injections from their dentist in Durango, Colorado. While it is an effective treatment for removing wrinkles and fine lines, it can also help people who suffer from chronic headaches. Talk to a member of the team at the office of Mason O. Miner DDS, LLC to see if you can benefit from this great facial treatment.
Proven Results
One study reviewed adults who treated their chronic migraine headaches with BOTOX shots. People who receive the injections had more “crystal-clear” days where they did not experience any pain at all. They also reported needing to take fewer days off work. Half of participants noticed their total number of headaches was reduced by half after only two rounds of shots. After five treatments, that number increased to 70 percent of participants.
How Does It Work?
BOTOX is a type of botulinum toxin. When it is purified and administered in small doses, it momentarily reduces muscle contractions for around three months. Doctors believe the substance blocks chemicals known as neurotransmitters that bring pain signals to the brain. It essentially functions as a roadblock. It stops chemicals before they even reach the nerve endings, providing much-needed relief.
Who Can Benefit?
This treatment works best on individuals who have a history of migraine headaches. It will not work on people who experience headaches less than 15 days every month. It also will not work on certain types of headaches, such as cluster headaches.
