We handle the cases others can’t fully explain.

What is Botox Treatment in Neurology?

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a medication that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, helping reduce overactivity, tension, and pain. In neurological care, it is used to treat conditions involving muscle stiffness, abnormal movements, and chronic migraines.

Symptoms

When You May Need Botox Treatment

Botox may be recommended when symptoms are persistent and not adequately controlled with medication alone. It is often used in patients with chronic migraine or muscle overactivity affecting daily function such as cervical dystonia (torticollis), writer’s cramp, hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm. It is also used to relieve excessive sweating in the armpit, palms and feet.
