For TMJ, Migraines and More
At Maryville Family Dentistry, we offer BOTOX® injections in Louisville, Kentucky, as an effective treatment for various conditions, including TMJ disorders, chronic migraines and facial pain. While BOTOX is well-known for its cosmetic benefits, it also serves as a powerful therapeutic tool for relieving muscle tension and discomfort. Our personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the care needed to address their specific concerns.
How Does BOTOX Work?
BOTOX is a purified protein that, when injected into specific facial muscles, temporarily blocks nerve signals, preventing muscle contractions. This relaxation of the muscles can provide significant relief from pain and tension caused by TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, migraines and even chronic facial pain. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, with results typically appearing within days and lasting for several months.
Conditions Treated with BOTOX
Patients may benefit from BOTOX injections for a variety of conditions, including:
- TMJ Disorders: BOTOX can help relieve jaw tension, reduce headaches and prevent teeth grinding by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw.
- Chronic Migraines: Regular BOTOX treatments can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines, offering relief for patients who suffer from debilitating headaches.
- Facial Pain: By targeting specific muscles, BOTOX can alleviate chronic pain associated with muscle tension in the face and neck.
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): BOTOX can minimize teeth grinding and clenching, preventing further damage to teeth and reducing jaw discomfort.
