More Than Skin Deep: BOTOX for TMJ and Migraines
If you’re clenching, grinding your teeth, or dealing with persistent jaw pain, BOTOX might be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Many people don’t realize that the same treatment used to smooth wrinkles can also work wonders for relieving tension in the jaw and curbing migraines. Here's how:
- TMJ Pain — We use BOTOX to relax overactive muscles in the jaw area, which can alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders and teeth grinding. This helps you feel better and prevents further damage to your teeth and jaw over time.
- Migraines — BOTOX is also a highly effective option for managing chronic migraines. Targeting specific muscle groups that contribute to migraine pain helps reduce the frequency and severity of headaches. Sounds like a win to us!
