Botox for TMJ Disorder & Migraines
You may be familiar with the cosmetic usage of Botox to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but did you know Botox is also used to reduce jaw pain and headaches caused by tight muscles? At our office, we utilize therapeutic Botox to treat tension-triggered migraines, bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), and TMJ disorder. Dr. Low has been specially trained to precisely inject this FDA-approved medication into facial, cranial, and neck muscles.
After Botox is injected into the appropriate areas for your condition, you will begin to notice results within a week. After 4 months, you will need to revisit the office for additional injections to continue to experience the benefits of therapeutic Botox. With time, you should be able to space these appointments even further apart.
