Migraines are a neurological condition characterized by pulsing sensation and throbbing pain on one side of the head. Migraine headaches usually interfere with your daily activities and are often accompanied by sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, and vomiting, eventually impacting your quality of life. As it is a chronic condition, individuals continue to suffer from headaches that are disabling and affecting their daily activities leading to missed events such as graduations and weddings.
Despite the severity of chronic migraine, you might be able to treat it at Maasumi Headache & Spine Care using a variety of preventive measures and medications. For those suffering from chronic migraines, we offer Botox injections that help reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines so that you can eliminate the constant headaches and live a life free of headaches and with improved quality of life.
Botox contains Botulinum neurotoxic protein that is deemed to interrupt pain signals. Upon experiencing a migraine, your body will release molecules and neurotransmitters associated with pain. However, when Botox is injected, it prevents their release thus reducing the pain sensation resulting from migraines. This way, it prevents migraines and their frequency.
Not everyone with migraines is recommended to get Botox injections. Botox injections are only recommended for those who have been experiencing headaches for at least 3 months, with over 15 headaches a month, 8 of which last longer than 4 hours
Botox injection is given on the specific areas of your neck and head. Botox does not have the risk of rebound headache, which is often associated with several oral medications. Botox helps prevent migraines for about 2-3 months.
Botox injections provide remarkable advantages in the treatment of migraine headaches, including:
At Maasumi Headache & Spine Care, we will begin your Botox treatment for migraines by personalizing your treatments based on the unique anatomy and origin points of pain. We follow the PREEMPT protocol that has been developed over many decades for chronic migraine. We will inject Botulinum toxin (using a small needle) into the tiny muscles under your skin in the target areas.
Botox injections not only reduce the frequency of chronic migraines but also reduce the symptoms of migraines. However, depending on the severity of your pain, it may take several treatments to experience relief from migraines. Some patients can discontinue injections if the frequency of migraine attacks is reduced, while others may need regular treatments to keep migraines from reoccurring.
