Tension Headaches

Botox for Tension Headaches

Botox can be used for the medical treatment of tension headaches where other measures have failed.

Tension headaches are often the result of increased forehead muscle or eye muscle activity. Using the same principle, botox can be injected in tiny quantities in the overactive tensed muscles to relax them and prevent the onset of headaches.

In chronic headaches sufferers where medical management has not been effective, botox has been shown to have an effect on reducing tension headaches.
