Botox Migraine Treatment
Migraines or tension headaches are commonly caused by strong working forehead muscles in the frown area and many people also suffer with headaches due to working their forehead muscle hard by driving into the sun and squinting and by looking at computer screens / mobile phones for too many hours in the day!
Tension headaches and migraines that are not benefitting from medication may benefit from the use of muscle relaxing treatments such as Botox® injections
Doctors in the USA found when Botulinum Toxin injections were given in the forehead for cosmetic purposes migraine suffering clients reported that their migraines improved!
Botox migraine treatment involves intra-muscular injections, causing the muscles to relax and the reduce the muscular tension. The relaxation of muscular tension also seems to block one of the primary causes of migraines.
