BOTOX for Chronic Migraines
Now offering Botox for chronic migraines
Botox is FDA approved for chronic migraines, which means 15 or more headaches per month lasting 4 hours a day or longer.
Botox is a form of botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by bacteria that causes botulism. When the Botox botulinum toxin is purified and used in tiny doses in specific areas, it temporarily reduces muscle contractions for approximately 3 month.
Botox is injected around pain fibers that are involved in headaches. Botox enters the nerve endings around where it is injected and blocks the release of chemicals involved in the pain transmission. This prevents activation of pain networks in the brain.
Botox is FDA approved for chronic migraines, and is covered by most insurance plans. Allergan offers a Botox saving card which offers patients reduced fees. Our office will get authorization from your insurance company and will help you with the savings card.
Please keep in mind that your insurance company will approve Botox as a treatment for chronic migraines if you have trialed and failed to respond to two or more preventive treatments. If you have already failed preventive treatments, or already receiving Botox and would like our office to continue your care, please contact our office for an appointment.
