Botox® Therapy for Muscle-Spasm Induced Pain
Guthrie neurologists offer Botox therapy for neurology
patients with recurrent muscle spasms or chronic muscle spasms who are
experiencing severe pain. Since the purpose of using Botox is to relax the
muscles, it can also be used to control involuntary movement. The benefits of
Botox therapy can last up to three months.
To relieve the patient’s spasm, a small dose of Botox is injected directly into
the muscle at the site of spasm. The latest in neurophysiology technology is
used to pinpoint the most beneficial injection site or sites in order to cause
the patient the least amount of discomfort. A neurologist must screen each
candidate to determine whether Botox is appropriate for the particular needs of
each individual patient.
