Therapeutic Botox: What Is It?
Therapeutic Botox is a medical treatment based on botulinum toxin, used for several decades to relieve various neurological, muscular, and functional conditions. Unlike cosmetic Botox, its purpose is not aesthetic, but therapeutic.
How Does Therapeutic Botox Work?
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking nerve transmission to the targeted muscle or gland.
This helps to:
- Reduce excessive muscle contractions
- Decrease pain
- Improve function and quality of life
- The effect is localized, reversible, and controlled, with an average duration of 3 to 6 months.
