Has anyone tried Botox for headaches?

Botox is great and I’ve used it for a variety of muscular ailments where the muscles were tugging on things they shouldn’t have been and thereby causing pressure and pain. So if you have a migraine that is pressure related, it helps. Since I’ve done both talks for well over a decade and I don’t do it anymore because I don’t need to. I want to point out a couple things. Botox works by paralyzing your muscles that are causing the problem. So it gives you the opportunity to resolve and isolate the muscles, which are causing you a problem. If your problem is bio, mechanical, for example, like bad posture, you’re going to need to fix your posture when the Botox starts wearing off. Also, it weekends your muscles so if you’re doing Botox in your back shoulder areas like I did, you have to be willing to strengthen the weekend muscles with exercise or you’re going to fall back into the same problem. My neck needed a spine surgery. So the Botox was something that was useful until my doctors all figured out that the spine surgery wasn’t necessity. I had headaches because of the deterioration of my neck vertebrae and the compensation undertaken by my muscles. More and more over the years, the compensation involved more and more muscles. Be sure to find a good MFR deep myofascial release therapist as they will untangle muscles which start glowing together and moving as a unit which reaches from your shoulders to your neck into your head and causing headaches. If your problem source is my muscular, there are different muscle relaxers to try as well, which will help you diagnose your problem and where it comes from. You should consult with a good kinesiology doctor. I didn’t realize that different muscle relaxers work on different pathways in your body. Here’s to your good health!

I guess Botox can work for some people for some things, some of the time. However losing sight from it freaks me out and I have heard of it. So, I guess, pick your poison.
