Medical Botox
Physician-Led Botox Treatments for Therapeutic Relief
At Shani MD Wellness Clinic, Botox is more than a cosmetic treatment. We offer physician-administered Medical Botox to help manage a variety of medical conditions that affect your daily comfort and quality of life.
Medical Botox works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles and reducing the release of pain-related nerve signals. This minimally invasive treatment can help relieve chronic pain, muscle tension, excessive sweating, and neurological conditions without the need for surgery.
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment by Dr. Shani to determine whether Medical Botox is the right option for your condition.
Chronic Migraine
Migraine is a neurological condition that affects millions of Canadians and can significantly interfere with work, family life, and daily activities.
Medical Botox is an effective preventive treatment for chronic migraine. It works by blocking pain signals and relaxing muscles around the head and neck, helping reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
You may be a candidate if you:
-
Are 18 years of age or older
-
Experience 15 or more headache days per month
-
Have tried other preventive medications without sufficient relief
-
Have been evaluated by a physician
Botox is injected into specific areas of the forehead, temples, back of the head, and neck using a standardized treatment protocol.
TMJ Disorder & Jaw Clenching
Jaw pain, teeth grinding, and clenching can place excessive stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), leading to discomfort, headaches, and limited jaw movement.
Botox injections into the masseter muscles help reduce muscle overactivity, relieving tension while protecting the teeth from further damage caused by grinding.
Medical Botox may help improve:
-
Jaw pain
-
Teeth grinding (Bruxism)
-
Jaw tightness
-
Tension headaches
-
Clicking or locking of the jaw
-
Facial muscle fatigue
Most patients experience relief for approximately 3 to 4 months.
Shoulder & Neck Tension
Chronic stress, repetitive movements, and muscle overuse can lead to persistent tension in the trapezius muscles.
Botox injections can relax these muscles, reducing discomfort and improving mobility.
Treatment may be beneficial for patients experiencing:
-
Chronic neck pain
-
Shoulder tightness
-
Tension headaches
-
Muscle spasms
-
Stress-related muscle tension
Results typically begin within 2 to 3 weeks and may last 3 to 6 months.
Patients who regularly perform heavy weightlifting or physically demanding activities should discuss whether this treatment is appropriate during their consultation.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition characterized by excessive sweating that occurs even without heat or physical activity.
Excessive sweating can interfere with work, social interactions, and daily confidence.
Botox blocks the nerve signals responsible for activating sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Underarms
-
Palms of the hands
-
Soles of the feet
Medical Botox is often recommended when topical treatments or medications have not provided adequate relief.
