Botox muscle therapy uses botulinum toxin type A for therapeutic treatment of various neurological and muscular conditions. Beyond cosmetic applications, medical Botox provides significant relief for chronic migraines, muscle spasticity, and numerous other medical conditions.

What is Botox Muscle Therapy?

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) is a neurotoxin that temporarily blocks nerve signals to muscles, causing controlled muscle relaxation. In therapeutic applications, this mechanism provides relief from overactive muscle contractions, chronic pain, and various neurological conditions.

How Botox Muscle Therapy Works

The treatment mechanism involves:

5. Neuroplasticity: Potential retraining of pain pathways
