About Migraines, Tension Headaches, Neck Pain
WHAT IT IS
Migraine headaches are a specific type of headache that is differentiated from tension headaches using a diagnostic screening questionnaire by your provider. They often have overlapping symptoms with tension headaches, and neck pain is a common denominator in most cases. A full comprehensive exam is performed to determine what type of headaches and neck pain muscles are involved to personalize your treatment for best results
HOW IT WORKS
Most migraines, tension headaches, and neck pain may stem from overactive or tense jaw muscles, neck muscles, and/or facial muscles. Therapeutic botulinum toxin is carefully injected into targeted neck muscles to reduce tension and limit involuntary movements like spasms, or persistent tension. This approach may help minimize pain, reduce headache frequency and/or intensity, and enhance quality of life.
