Shoulder Pain
Shoulder and neck pain can limit your daily activities, disrupt your sleep and reduce your quality of life. When traditional treatments fall short, botox offers a targeted, effective solution to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and restore movement. The minimally invasive treatment works by relaxing overactive muscles, allowing your body to heal and function better.
What is Botox for Shoulder and Neck Pain?
Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking nerve signals responsible for muscle contraction. In cases of chronic shoulder and neck pain caused by muscle stiffness or overuse, botox injections help reduce muscle tightness and relieve discomfort. Unlike painkillers or physical therapy alonhe, botox targets the root muscular causes, offering more precise and lasting relief.
How does the treatment work?
During treatment, our medical team injects botox directly into the specific muscles causing pain and tension. Botox then prevents these muscles from contracting excessively and allowing tight muscles to loosen. The process is quick and minimally painful, with only minor discomfort from the injections. By relaxing affected muscles, botox supports improved posture and range of motion, which encourages natural healing.
What to expect after treatment:
After your botox injections, many patients notice reduced muscle tightness and less pain within a few days. Some experience increased comfort and better neck and shoulder mobility, which can improve sleep and daily functioning. Side effects are rare but may include mild soreness or bruising at the injection sites. There’s no downtime, so you can resume normal activities right away, with gradual improvement over the following weeks.
When to expect results:
Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 7 days after treatment and peak around 2 weeks. The pain relief and muscle relaxation generally lasts between 3 to 4 months, after which repeat treatments may be recommended to maintain benefits. Over time, botox can help reduce the frequency and intensity of pain episodes.
