"Kiss My Botox" - it really works!
Botox can be very useful in treating back and neck pain, as well as headaches.
Botox decreases muscle tension and pain. It also improves posture and walking and increases range of motion (ROM).
The advantage of Botox over previous therapies is that, by pinpointing exactly where the muscle tension occurs, the source of the pain can be targeted. Doctors use Computed Tomography (CT) to specifically locate the offending muscle(s).

example: After unsuccessful treatments with medications, physical therapy, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulations, physical therapy, traction and surgery... the neurological pain specialist injected Botox into the painful areas of her neck. This was like a miracle after years of chronic pain.
