Chronic Migraines

Botulinum toxin is FDA-approved for the prevention of chronic migraines. It is typically injected into muscles around the head and neck to reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.

Cervical Dystonia

This condition involves painful muscle contractions in the neck. Botulinum toxin can be injected to relax these muscles and reduce pain and discomfort.

Overactive Bladder

Botulinum toxin is used to treat overactive bladder and urinary incontinence, particularly in cases where medications have not been effective. It works by relaxing the bladder muscle, reducing urgency and frequency of urination.

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Botulinum toxin can be injected into areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet to reduce excessive sweating. It blocks the chemical signals that activate sweat glands.

Spasticity

Botulinum toxin is often used to treat muscle spasticity in conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or multiple sclerosis. It helps relax the muscles, improving mobility and reducing pain.

Strabismus (Crossed Eyes)

Botulinum toxin can be injected into eye muscles to treat strabismus, helping to realign the eyes temporarily. It reduces the muscle imbalance that causes the eye misalignment.

Blepharospasm (Eyelid Spasm)

Botulinum toxin is used to treat abnormal, involuntary blinking or eyelid spasms. It helps by relaxing the muscles controlling the eyelids.

TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorders)

Botulinum toxin can be used to relieve pain from TMJ disorders by relaxing the jaw muscles and reducing tension and clenching.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Botulinum toxin is used in some cases to relax the muscles involved in teeth grinding, reducing wear and tear on the teeth and alleviating jaw pain.

Sialorrhea (Excessive Salivation)

In conditions where excessive drooling or salivation is a problem, botulinum toxin can reduce saliva production by blocking the nerve signals to the salivary glands.
