Botox isn’t just a cosmetic option—it’s also a proven medical therapy for many neurological and pain-related conditions.
Medical Uses for Botox
Botox can improve symptoms by relaxing overactive muscles or blocking nerve signals associated with pain. It may help with:
- Chronic migraines
- Cervical dystonia (severe neck muscle spasms)
- Blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking)
- Hemifacial spasms
- Muscle tightness after stroke, MS, or brain injury
- Excess drooling or sweating
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation with Dr. Gilreath or Dr. Jones to determine candidacy
- Quick in-office injections with minimal discomfort
- No downtime—patients may resume normal activity
- Treatments are usually repeated every 3–4 months
Botox may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain allergies or skin conditions near the injection site.
