Do you suffer from frequent migraines? Managing this chronic condition can be challenging, and that’s why we’re offering Botox for migraines. Botox isn’t just a cosmetic treatment. It’s also an effective treatment for managing migraine pain.

Here’s everything you need to know about Botox for migraines. 
## Does Botox Really Work for Migraines?
Botox is commonly used to reduce facial wrinkles. During treatment, botulinum toxin is injected into targeted muscles. Botox relaxes these muscles and prevents them from contracting or tensing. This reduces wrinkles, but it can also have a therapeutic effect.

Botox for migraines can release trigger points and relax tense or overactive muscles. If your migraine is caused by muscles tension, Botox for migraines can be extremely effective. 

Botox also calms hypersensitive or enflamed nerves to reduce pain. Botox blocks pain signals traveling from your brain to your head and neck. This prevents migraine pain before it starts.
## Botox for Chronic Migraines
We recommend Botox for chronic migraines caused by muscle tension. Botox can prevent migraines all together, giving you effective pain relief. Botox is most effective for anyone experiencing headache pain on 15 or more days each month. 

If you have another type of headache, such as cluster headache, Botox is not recommended.
## Where Do We Inject Botox for Migraine?
The exact injection site depends on where you experience migraine pain. During an initial consultation, we’ll determine the best site to target migraine pain. Common injection sites for migraine relief include the bridge of the nose, forehead, temples, back of the head, and even along the top of your shoulders.
## Botox and Pain Medication 
Using pain meds to manage migraines? You can keep taking oral medications for migraine pain along with your Botox treatments. Botox and pain medication can work together to manage migraine pain and stop your next migraine before it starts.
## Are There Any Side Effects?
Botox side effects are rare. Botox is a safe and effective treatment option for both cosmetic and medical uses. However, you may experience some side effects at the injection site. This could include some redness, swelling, or slight bruising. These side effects usually clear up on their own in a day or two.

Your risk of side effects doesn’t increase over time. You can treat migraine pain with Botox for years without seeing any increased side effects. 
## How to Get the Best Results
### Book Regular Botox Appointments
Did your first Botox appointment give you relief? To manage chronic migraine headaches, schedule regular Botox treatments. We recommend Botox injections every 3 months. To avoid experiencing migraine pain or missing any more days at work, book recurring Botox appointments.

### Avoid Strenuous Activity After Botox
After getting Botox for migraines, avoid any strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Exercise can spread Botox to nearby muscles, making your treatment less effective. After 24 hours, the Botox has settled into your muscles, and you can get back to your exercise routine.
### Trust the Experts
Working with a skilled nurse is the best way to get the great results. Our highly qualified nurses will determine the best injection site to give you effective and long-lasting pain relief.
