Botox Injections for Pain

About Treatment

When we think of BOTOX, we often think of wrinkle reduction. But these injections have other uses. They also treat pain. Let’s learn about BOTOX and what types of pain it treats.

WHAT IS BOTOX?

What is BOTOX? It’s a brand name for a protein called “botulinum toxin.” When it’s injected in small doses, it blocks nerve signals. It can stop pain signals before they reach your brain. It also weakens or paralyzes certain muscles. The effect of BOTOX is not permanent. When it wears off, it can be injected again.

TYPES OF PAIN RELIEF

What types of pain does BOTOX treat? It can help you avoid migraine headaches. It can treat painful muscle contractions in the neck and shoulder caused by a condition we call “cervical dystonia.” It can relax tight muscles from cerebral palsy or other nerve conditions. Some doctors treat myofascial pain, back pain, neuropathy, and various muscle spasms with BOTOX.

Dr. Lovett is very nice. She listens and answers questions. She also offers options for treatment when other doctors have failed.

Dr. Lovett was very caring in talking with me when I underwent a Lumbar Epidural Steroid Injection, and answered all my questions clearly. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pain management.

Very good Dr. She listens and takes her time with you. If you need additional tests she will order those. The office has gotten me in before my appointments if I have a problem. The staff is great and I feel at home there.

Professional, confident, outstanding bedside manner. Never feel like I’m been rushed through appointments. Listens and explains your options. I’ve been a patient of hers for at least a decade and have never had a complaint. Grateful to have her as my Doctor.

I absolutely love Dr Lovett. She is so caring and truly loves her patients. She has helped me so much. I told her that I had wished God had put her in my life a long time ago during my difficult times with my pain.

Dr. Lovett and her staff are amazing. Have never met a nicer group of staff to help with anything you need, and Dr. Lovett, she’s a wonderful person. Whether your up or down she’ll make you feel better. And as patients, sometimes we need to listen to our Doctors. They have their ups and downs like every human being.
Be nice to your doctors and staff!!! 💜💙💚
