Botox for chronic migraine,
treated precisely.

Botox for migraine is intended for people with chronic migraine, meaning headache on 15 or more days each month, with migraine features on at least eight of them. It is not a treatment for occasional headaches or episodic migraine, and an accurate diagnosis comes first.

Treatment involves a series of small injections across defined sites of the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders. The visit typically takes under half an hour in our office, and most people return to normal activity the same day.

Treatment is repeated about every twelve weeks, and benefit is often judged after two treatment cycles. Not everyone responds, and no outcome is promised; response is reviewed honestly at each visit and the plan is adjusted when needed.

Botox is rarely the whole answer. Preventive medication review, attention to medication overuse, sleep, trigger and lifestyle work, and occipital nerve blocks for selected nerve pain patterns are considered alongside it, with neurology coordination when the picture calls for it.
