When we think of BOTOX, most of us are likely thinking of BOTOX's benefits as a cosmetic procedure used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. While this is accurate, you may not realize that BOTOX also has some other important uses. Here are some other common problems that treatment with BOTOX in Barrie can help to eliminate.
Treating Bruxism (Clenching and Grinding)
Clenching or grinding your teeth, also called bruxism, can be a serious problem that contributes to a host of other issues like tooth wear or fractures, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain. The problem with bruxism is that it typically happens at night when you're asleep. So it's hard to control or even diagnose on your own.
Because BOTOX freezes the muscles it's injected into, it relaxes those muscles that are working overtime at night and causing your bruxism. Using BOTOX for bruxism treatment in Barrie, ON can prevent excessive wear to your teeth and protect your jaw joints from painful issues.
Treating Frequent Headaches or Migraines
BOTOX can also be helpful for patients who suffer from frequent headaches. Migraines can be debilitating and greatly affect your life quality, especially when you're dealing with them often. When BOTOX relaxes your muscles, it also alleviates painful headaches.
