Botox® For Chronic Migraine

If you have 15 or more headache days a month over a three-month period, your migraines are considered chronic and make you a candidate for Botox® treatments.  Botox® prevents on average, 8 to 9 headache days and migraine days a month   The treatments consist of 31 small, shallow injections into 7 muscle groups in the head and neck areas that may be associated with migraines.  A majority of people say the injections feel like tiny pinches or pinpricks.  The Botox® treatments take about 10 minutes, and you will start with 2 treatments 12 weeks apart to determine how well Botox® is working for you.  If you don't get 2 treatments 12 weeks apart, you may not get the full benefit of the treatment.  Based on your progress, we will discuss retreatment every 12 weeks after that.
