Therapeutic BOTOX to Treat TMJ Pain, Migraines, & More...
Why choose BOTOX to treat pain? BOTOX is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to prevent TMJ related pain, tension headaches, and migraine headaches. What some patients may not realize is their source of chronic headaches,or migraines, may come from tension in the mouth and jaw area. I commonly see this in patients who grind their teeth or constantly clench their jaw from stress. It is common that patients are not even aware that they are teeth grinders or hold tension in their jaw because it is subconscious behavior. A common symptom that people have is they will wake up in the morning with a sore jaw and a headache. This is usually due to nocturnal grinding which may occur because of excessive stress, syndromes such as obstructive sleep apnea, or even occlusal interferences (a bad bite). BOTOX injections can be a great solution for TMJ related pain and headaches.
See what "The Doctors" have to say about Botox and TMJ:
Migraine Pain and BOTOX from: www.americanhealthjournal.com:
BOTOX patient testimonial:
“After 15 years of chronic pain from grinding my teeth, the relief is unbelievable."
I had suffered for over 15 years from grinding my teeth at
night (bruxism). My mouth guard was not getting the job done. During periods of
stress, I would wake up every morning with headaches and a sore jaw.
Other dentists warned me I was destroying my teeth, but
could not give me a solution!
After doing my own research, I learned of a new treatment
for bruxism. The same botox used for
cosmetic procedures is injected into the muscles of the jaw, relaxing them. Unfortunately, it took me three years to find
a dentist in Utah that was trained in this procedure.
After my first treatment by Dr. Davis, my relief was
immediate and profound. I can now look
forward to waking up in the morning, knowing I won’t be in pain. It has been a dramatic improvement in my
quality of life.
